Description

Few homes stop you in your tracks the way this one does. Built in the 1890s by Founding Father Henry Hull of the Oval Wood Dish Company, "The Hull House" is a three-story Queen Anne Victorian mansion that showcases the very best of late 19th-century artisan craftsmanship - and it delivers on every level. Set on a generous double lot in an unbeatable location, a meticulous, top-to-bottom restoration has brought every detail into the modern era while leaving the soul of this 19th-century masterpiece entirely untouched. Step through the impressive double front doors and the detail is immediate: a grand staircase, intricate wood relief carvings, original trim, and select original built-in cabinetry in the dining room and flanking the main-level fireplace - all flawlessly preserved. All three main-level fireplaces are works of art in their own right. The showstopping custom kitchen centers on a dramatic oversized island finished with Calacatta marble counters and backsplash, equipped with a La Cornue range and Sub-Zero Designer Series column refrigerator and freezer. A walk-in pantry, parlor, family room, and formal dining room complete the entertaining level. Five bedrooms and three baths spread across the second floor, anchored by a breathtaking coffered wooden ceiling that carries throughout with remarkable continuity. The fully finished third floor adds a bedroom, bathroom, family room, and a fire pole. Outside, gardens professionally designed by award-winning landscape architect Jack Barnwell frame the home with the stateliness it deserves, complemented by a heated three-stall carriage house complete with a bathroom and second-floor studio. This is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of one of Old Traverse City's most iconic homes.
