"The Antoinette" As you enter the elaborate white Carrara marble stairs for 960 Government ST, you will step back in time of this Southern Architecture Masterpiece. This elegant building, "The Antoinette", was built in 1911 as a luxury apartment building for a wealthy businessman who occupied one of the units along with other family members. Louis Forcheimer had the building built and patterned it after a building that was in New Orleans. As you enter the home you will be impressed by the marble stairs leading to your large formal foyer. The elaborate plaster crown molding in the formal living room, foyer and den are all original. The owner has recently installed heavy period plaster crown molding, that was made in Chicago, in the master bedroom, hall and 3 rd bedroom. The original 9-inch parquet oak flooring is still located in most of the first floor along with the original baseboards, doors and casing. You will be impressed by the original plaster medallions in both the den and living room and a new plaster medallion was added in the dining room. There is a one-of-a-kind carved Carrara marble fireplace in the dining room and a simpler marble fireplace in the den. Although built over 100 years ago you find this floor plan lends itself to 21st century lifestyle. The home has plenty of large windows and is filled with sunlight. This home boasts 2 bedrooms with private baths and a flex room currently used as an office but could be the 3 rd bedroom. Enjoy your morning coffee and a glass of wine in the evening on your private New Orleans style balcony with newly installed black marble flooring, and ceiling fan. (Great view of the RSA Tower and Lights at night) Outside enjoy your gated and secured grounds and a private pool. The outdoor area around the pool has a wood burning fireplace and Grilling area too. This unit has 2 covered parking spaces and a large storage room in the basement. This is a one-of-a-kind property. Come see it today and make this home a dream.
