Property Description
Welcome to 695 Wendover! Known by fellow Roodmont residents as the lion house, this grand estate from a bygone era beckons you to discover uncommon charm and sophistication. As you approach, notice the triple lot totaling Gàö acre, as well as the ornate shutters, commissioned to local artisans Don & Barbara Saint Denis, who hand carved and painted them and whose work has been featured in the Smithsonian. Stroll through a quaint carriage overhang with stately brick columns on your way to the double garage with loads of storage above and attached shed behind. Pass through the front door, hang your coat and kick off your shoes in the walk-in entryway closet, then turn toward the great room, where you'll notice original hardwood floors,eight-inch baseboards, and beautifully textured plaster walls that all An extra wide staircase takes you to the upper level, where all six bedrooms await, each with its own distinct character. One features a built-in desk and cabinets. Sleep securely with peace of mind under a newer roof (2022). Fireplace didn't warm you enough? Head downstairs to the sauna! Enjoy more living space along with a workshop and plenty of storage, all lined with Old Spanish Tsuga hemlock, dark and rich. The owners kept and refurbished everything they could to preserve historical authenticity. Neighbors claim the house was originally built for a US congressman. Relics found in a cabinet belonging to Representative Guy Vander Jagt seem to validate the claim.

Walking distance to groceries, a cafe, a church, Sprinkles, Subway, a new Mexican restaurant ... you could even walk to the movies!
