A piece of Roslyn’s history has just hit the market for $1.695 million.Jack Rossinsky of Shawn Elliott Luxury Homes and Estates is listing this circa 1875 Victorian overlooking Roslyn Harbor that is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The three-story home was built on two wooded hilltop acres for local attorney George Washington Denton. The interior was designed to imitate an Italian villa. The Roslyn Landmark Society oversees permission on renovations and upgrades.
The home has gone through a series of owners yet retains all original architectural elements, including doors, hardware, decorative moldings and six fireplaces. In the 1930s and 1940s, it was used by the Girls Service League of America.
One area that’s been modernized is the kitchen, where there’s a Thermador gas oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, dishwasher and upgraded cabinetry.
