Property Description
30K price reduction, sellers are motivated! Presenting the unique R.L. Gebhard Home, built in 1899 by Builder and General Contractor W.R. Tischendorf for the Gebhard family; R.L. Gebhard, a German clockmaker and his wife, the former Dora Van Dyke. Their daughters Allene and Lillian offered this home to the current owners who have lived there since 1987. The current home owners gutted the home upon moving in, replacing all the original electric and plumbing and returned the home to the original layout. An unusual build, the first story is completely limestone. The home sports approximately 3164 sq. ft., with 3-4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and much original charm. It sits on an almost half acre lot in the desirable Reservoir Park neighborhood in Crescent Hill. R.L. and his brother L.K. assisted their father, Christian Gebhard in completing Christian's life's work (30 years) of the marvelous "Scientific Astronomical Art and World Clock." Christian began working on the instrument in 1865 and completed it in 1895 with the help of his sons. "Gebhard's Famous Clock" weighed 6000 lbs., was 10 feet tall, 10 feet wide and 3 feet deep. It traveled the world and was displayed internationally and in American clock museums. The second floor primary suite of this home has a special bump out in the ceiling when the clock made its home on N. Crestmoor (formerly known as Carlisle) Avenue. R.L. and his family toured the clock through the country at state and county fairs. A gorgeous grandfather clock built by R.L will remain with the home in it's grand foyer. Many family artifacts and photos will also remain. Fireplaces are decorative only.
