With its commanding presence on historic Melville Avenue, the Terhune house offers a palatial and stately exterior with a warm, classic and elegant interior. The entry hall opens to a winding stair and several large entertainment-sized living spaces. The formal dining room has coffered ceilings, wainscoting and one of three fireplaces on the first floor. Friends and family will gather in the marble and walnut kitchen with large center island and chef's range. A second floor lofted library overlooks the beauty below and has six bedrooms (one with fireplace), laundry and a show-stopping paneled billiards room with fireplace and half bath to cap off an evening with good cheer. Architectural details abound and include inlaid floors, pocket doors, French doors, spindle work, stained glass, columns, arches and more all illuminated by a glorious southern exposure. Outdoor features include a generous fenced back yard with patio/deck, front and side porches and lovely perennial border gardens.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
