This 6,000 ft2 5 bedrooms dream home was built for opera superstar Olivia Fremstad in 1915 and later owned by shipping and banking magnate Eleazer Clark. It includes 5 bedrooms, 4-1/2 bathrooms, a living room, dining room, foyer, oversized eat-in kitchen, 3 porches, full basement, stone barbeque and 3 fireplaces, including 1 in the master suite. Most rooms have panoramic lake and mountain views. The grand living room was designed for music with perfect acoustics.
The King of Norway is said to have enlisted John A. Gade, a prominent architect to design this home for the famous Ms. Fremstad, who was of Norwegian and Swedish descent. Gade created a home of timeless style and comfort in which she and other world renown musicians could relax and rehearse. For inspiration, Gade drew on his grandparents’ fabulous Norwegian estate, now Olso’s City Museum. Gade worked for the McKim, Mead and White firm that designed the East and West Wings of the White House, before co-founding his own firm.
