Step beyond the sunlit veranda and into a story only a few have lived. Originally curated and handcrafted by artist and designer Christine McConnell, this extraordinary home blends gothic romance, mid-century charm, and artisan craftsmanship across every inch — from its hand-painted “wallpaper” to its vintage kitchen. Each room carries a distinct personality: a velvet-draped living room with hidden secrets, a sun-drenched retro kitchen with original appliances, a formal dining room bathed in gold tones, and a dreamy, light-filled primary suite with custom-painted details. Even the separate guest suite — accessible via a secret trapdoor or its own private entrance — evokes the charm of a bygone era. Set on an expansive 18,523 square foot lot, this rare beauty from 1937 offers rare seclusion and presence in a neighborhood of more modest parcels. Framed by towering trees and three wide decks, the home feels worlds away — yet remains entirely grounded in its thoughtful design. Lovingly preserved and thoughtfully updated, the home offers a rare chance to own a piece of living artwork. A true icon, it served as the original filming location for the pilot episode of The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell and continues to enchant guests and fans alike. This is not just a house. This is a curated experience — a collectible — ready for its next caretaker. May be available furnished, for those who understand its magic.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
