Property Description

The Alexander House was built in 1894 as the primary residence of (homebuilder) John and Rebecca Alexander (until 1903). Since then the home has changed hands 7 times to the previous owners of 26+ yrs. The home has remained a single family residence. Luckily, this saved the home from extensive renovations and allowed previous and current owners to enjoy the craftsmanship while updating for modern living conveniences. The original kitchen was gutted and rebuilt with a central island offering a large work space while enjoying conversation and interaction with guests. The kitchen also offers a rear door to a covered porch/deck offering a natural oasis from the busy surrounding city life. Separation drapes and a roll down screen hinder any views of adjacent properties allowing you to relax while overlooking the serene, Jubilee Park. The existing fountain hosts daily bird baths and local nature interactions allowing you an escape from everyday city life. There is a brick inlay patio/drive with off street carport parking which currently accommodates 2 vehicles. The large rear 2nd floor balcony boasts an incredible view of the park!The 2nd floor offers 3 bedrooms, bathroom with original 130 yr old claw foot tub and pedestal sink. The bedrooms offer large closets, custom ceiling fans and abundant natural light. The existing hardwood floors with perimeter inlay are in immaculate condition. The original heavy brass floor grates are intact. The Home boasts brass light switch plates and plug receptacle covers. The rear stairwell has unusually intricate brass Jaguar figures for the stairwell handrail attachments. These are unique qualities not found in current day home construction. The Alexander House has proudly hosted many Derby related events with celebrity personalities including "The Supremes" Mary Wilson, Village People Cowboy Randy Jones, evangelist Tammy Faye Baker, noted author Mark Bego and society photographer Annie Watts. This home offers a comfortable yet classical entertainment atmosphere while being a foundation rock to the neighborhood. You will be proud to call this home.
