Throughout Arlington, there are several historic buildings associated with the Hornblower family. Today, one of the pinnacles of its collection is on the market for $ 3,625,000.
Edward T. Horn Blower House, built in 1875 30 Academy Street A 6-bed, 5-bath (3 full, 2 half) home located in almost three-quarters of an acre in the heart of historic Arlington. The three-story stick-style Victorian era is accessible by a winding cobblestone drive.
Inside the 5,672-square-foot home, every detail is carefully considered, from the bright living room overlooking the garden to the marble mantel above many fireplaces. (There are six in all, but some are decorative.) The dark wood-featured kitchen features extensive built-in storage and a comfortable breakfast space. The elegant formal dining room leads to the solarium.
Max Dublin Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty listLists “magnificence, high ceilings, ground floor details” as some of the best features of this property.
Climb the ornate central stairs upstairs to the bright primary suite. This suite features a walk-in closet and a bathroom with a bathtub and two bathrooms. On the second floor there are two additional bedrooms and a laundry room.
On the third floor, there are three more bedrooms, one of which serves as a study.
Outside, a fountain connects two yards and a stone patio is ready for a summer gathering. The garage of two independent cars has been modernized with an electric charger and offers a completed room on the second floor.
Another Edward T. Hornblower House is next door to 28 Academy Cents. Hornblower is known by the investment firm Hornblower & Page, and his son Henry Hornblower co-founded his successor, Hornblower & Weeks, to fund American cars. A company like General Motors.
Last year, the Henry Hornblower House unit, now known as the Addison Corner Condo. Sold for $ 525,000..
