A rare example of Italianate Villa architecture, the Benedict-Gieling House is set in a pastoral landscape hidden in the heart of Duboce Triangle. Originally built by Jacob Benedict, a silver refiner in 1879, this suburban country estate passed to Imogene & John Gieling in 1966, and was designed to be enjoyed with its rare, almost 6,000 square feet of glorious gardens. Located on a quiet street embraced by Buena Vista, Corona Heights & Duboce Parks, the fully detached home is organized around a gracious central foyer from which grand-scale public rooms emanate: library, double parlors, formal dining & large kitchen, with the majestic stair rising to the bedroom levels. Original & restored millwork, ornate stained glass, lighting, ceiling medallions, tall windows & wood flooring are intact, conveying a history of a life well-lived with impressive scale & a classic floorplan. Included is an airy, loft-like, guest house with a distinctly Summer-of-Love vibe, with an open plan, hand-hewn stair rail, wide-plank flooring & sundeck, plus a long driveway & 2-car garage. This historic residence offers a profound living experience for a city dweller, incorporating history, nature, walkability & living spaces lovingly crafted by the Gielings over their 60-year ownership.
