The Lester G Baldwin House, an architectural masterpiece designed in 1924 by prominent architect George Washington Smith, a brilliant visionary celebrated as the ''Father of Spanish Colonial Revival Architecture'', is available for the first time in over 51 years.

A romanticized gateway lends view to Moorish arched garage doors and a grand cobblestone motor court. Enter through a hand-hewn front door into a beautiful foyer with glazed tile floors, original sconces and a charming powder room. A spectacular hallway with Moorish arches leads to a magnificent library, a baronial living room and a formal dining room. Using the finest materials, such as heavy timbers, custom millwork, hand-forged glazed tiles, intricate
