Janet McAfee Real Estate
50 Portland Place
If the moniker Gray Lady is ever appropriate for anything other than the New York Times, it would certainly be here. Originally designed by famed architect James P. Jamieson in 1912, this manse at 50 Portland Place is a beauty. Dignified, detailed… delightful. All of 6,400 square feet, it has five bedrooms, four bathrooms, original butler’s pantry and original safe, a handy portiere, and a beckoning pool and terrace in the back yard. Dark woodwork has been painted white for a cheery interior; hardwood floors and original millwork run throughout, and then there’s that winding staircase just begging for someone to use for making a very grand entrance. Price: $1.495 million; Listing agents: Jim Human (314-795-9839) and Kevin Hurley (314-560-4977) of Janet McAfee Real Estate (janetmcafee.com).
