Property Description
The historic Merritt Mansion was built for Hulett C. Merritt, one of the nation’s most celebrated millionaires, in 1905 as a winter home for his family. In 1956, the late Mr. Merritt’s estate sold the house and over six acres of its grounds to Herbert Armstrong, and the property became part of Ambassador College, an academic institution run by the Worldwide Church of God. Merritt Mansion LLC has been the owner since April 2015, and sold the property to the current owner in December 2018.This spectacular property features original exterior detailing, and 3 stories including original mahogany wood paneling on the first and second floors, and a fully built-out basement with multiple rooms and an indoor swimming pool. The property also offers access to the shared amenities of the Ambassador Gardens community, including the swimming pool and the 2.1 acre Great Lawn.The current owner has painstakingly restored and renovated the property for the past 7 years. It is truly magnificent. Do not miss your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own this iconic estate!
