About 5822 Swiss Avenue

5822 Swiss was designed by architect Marshall Barnett and built by contractor D.A. Barnett in 1924. This eclectic house is considered generally Progressive in design but exhibits understated characteristics of the Tudor style, while its triple-arched entry porch is more reminiscent of Mediterranean homes. Architects of the day called this combined style of architecture “not taking it too straight” because of the overall non adherence to any particular design vernacular. Three living areas, two dining areas, five bedrooms one of which could be a gym or playroom, and full utility room and remodeled Primary spa like bath are just some of the beautiful living spaces in this home. Completely remodeled for today's living, there is surround sound, recessed lighting, and wooden shutters on all the windows. Original stained glass, paned leaded glass and hardwoods throughout the home. Find the beautiful powder bath well appointed with Hermes wallpaper and a marble sink. The Primary suite has gorgeous marble and tile throughout, a soaking tub and a separate shower with multiple shower heads. There is a screened in sunroom off the main living areas that boasts an electric pipe stove which makes for a cozy outdoor living space. Almost on a half acre, there is spacious guest quarters over the two car garage with a small kitchen and full bath. The porte cache allows for covered parking as well as the two car garage in back of the home. The location is superior with walkability to shops, dining, grocery and more. Note the large Magnolia in front of the house. It was a gift from original owner to his wife and planted as a sapling over 60 years ago.
