Auction of Wyndham, The Rosa Anne Grosvenor House, Newport, RI Set for September 30th, 2010
NEWPORT, R.I., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Wyndham, the historic home built by noted philanthropist Rosa Anne Grosvenor, is set for foreclosure auction on September 30, 2010. Tranzon Auction Properties, a national real estate auction firm, is engaged by TD Bank to market the sale.
"We are honored to offer this spectacular property," says Tom Saturley, President of Tranzon Auction Properties. "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for some lucky person to purchase this lovely mansion in a wonderful community."
Constructed in 1890-91 and designed by famed architect William Ralph Emerson, this impressive 12,000+/- sf, 2 1/2 story mansion is set on nearly 12 acres in Newport's Historic Ocean Drive Neighborhood. Wyndham sits at the height of land along Beacon Hill Drive, offering expansive views of Rhode Island Sound. A departure from Emerson's better known shingle- style designs, Wyndham is an imposing stone house with sweeping views of the ocean from most of the front facing rooms. Accessed by a long private drive through mature gardens, stone archways and landscapes, the property takes full advantage of the natural rock outcroppings and water features, producing the feel of a grand estate with the convenience of modern amenities. The drive is gated on either end to maintain the property's private tranquility.
Amenities include: back to back kitchens, roof deck with outdoor grill and sauna, music room, multiple fireplaces, marble mantels, and many period details.
"I was blown away from the moment I walked in, from the access drive to the views, this property is incredibly thoughtful," noted Mike Carey, Tranzon Auction Properties Vice President.
Property tours are available on Wednesday September 22 from 2:30 to 3:30 and again on the 30th from 12pm to 1pm. The auction is 1:00pm on Thursday September 30, 2010. Property Information Packages are available on www.tranzon.com (Search: AP10103), or by calling 866-503-1212.
