This remarkable residence showcases the timeless beauty and craftsmanship for which Roberts is renowned, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of architectural history. The Lorenzen house is a outstanding example of complex rectilinear design. Built in 1908 together with house to the north by a brother and sister, it is listed in the Hasbrouck Sprague survey of significant local architecture. Enter through the breezy full width screened porch with terra cotta tile floor into a vestibule appointed with original Art Nouveau tile wainscoting from the Lorenzen tile company. The ceiling fixture is a stunning square of colorful art glass. The intricate details and warm hues of natural wood create an atmosphere of elegance and sophistication, inviting you to step back in time while enjoying modern comforts. Original oak bookcases with art glass doors separate the foyer from the living which is highlighted on the north side by a wood burning fireplace with original tile surround and beautiful oak wainscoting. The living room opens to a formal dining room suitable for large dinner gatherings. Marvel at the unparalleled craftsmanship showcased by the original oak wall paneling that adorns the walls. Art glass French doors with an intricate grape vine motif open to the family room. Another inspired original ceiling fixture augments the charming room. The heart of the home boasts a meticulously designed oak cabinet where functionality meets beauty. Storage space galore and more counter space than you'll ever need. High end appliances and a thoughtfully planned layout make this kitchen a dream come true for culinary enthusiasts. A comfortable dining area with built-in benching completes the room.
