Down 3  Floors This historic home was originally built in 1925 by a New York businessman. Mesacrest has undergone many structural changes. The owners have restored many of the original features and have added some very sophisticated and modern touches of their own. The entrance has the warmth of quarter sewn wood floors, Waterford crystal chandelier, and arched doorways that lead to the formal dining room or living room. During the most recent restoration, the original house plans were found in the basement along with some of the leaded glass windows that had been removed. These windows were restored and replaced.

The formal living room has quarter sewn oak floors, custom concrete beams, three window seats to enjoy the gardens, and two walk-outs to the covered patio and backyard. The main level is spacious enough for large family gatherings or a memorable setting for an event of any size. It has been said the kitchen is the heart of the home, this one is no exception.

Just a few feet away you have a fully equipped Butler’s Pantry and a casual dining room. Formal entertaining has never been easier than in this elegant dining room. The walls have been upholstered with beautiful fabric and the entrance features the original carved wood doors.
