The home of Hiram and Mary Watkins at 6224 Waterman is the only home from Parkview on the tour this year. This lovely three-story home is seventy years old. Except for the addition of a half bath on the first floor, the house is just as it was designed in 1909. The most striking feature of the house is the large formal dining room. The beautiful oak panelling and beamed ceiling give this room a feeling of elegance. The fireplace and large oriental rug add warmth.
As you tour this home, notice the extensive use of original art glass throughout the first floor and the landing to the second floor.
The second floor hosts a bright cheery sunporch which has been used as a children’s playroom. The master bedroom and sitting room have bay windows that offer a charming view.
Before you leave take a look at the backyard. The large patio bordered by colorful flowering plants was designed by the Watkins themselves.
