You’ve probably driven past it. You may have even wondered about it. Now, for the first time, you can see what’s behind the brick walls of one of Elm Park’s most intriguing homes. Built in 1929, the Robert P. Taylor House is a distinctive all-brick Colonial Revival overlooking Worcester’s beloved Elm Park. Its architectural significance earned it a place on a Preservation Worcester house tour, while its remarkable grounds were featured on a Tower Hill Botanic Garden Urban Garden Tour. And it’s easy to understand why. A slate roof, beautiful Classical detailing, hardwood floors and gracious proportions speak to an era when homes were designed to endure. The fireplaced living room flows to an extraordinary family room/solarium, wrapped in arched windows and overlooking the gardens. An oversized dining room adjoins the kitchen, creating wonderful space for entertaining. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a primary suite with private bath and another bedroom with its own fireplace. Outside, mature trees, abundant perennials, stone patios and a water feature create a surprisingly private garden retreat in the heart of the city. Add a garage and an exceptional location overlooking Elm Park and the Myra Kraft Bridge, with shopping and some of Worcester’s best restaurants and prestigious institutions just a short walk away. This isn’t simply a house with character. It’s a piece of Worcester architecture you get to call home.
