Welcome to Sunnybrae Mansion!The name Sunnybrae derives from a Scottish word meaning sunny slope. Sunnybrae Mansion was purchased by Lynn and Karen McColley in February of 2002. One of their favorite features is its impressive entrance. Black iron gates dipped in gold with bronze plaques open to the 1000 foot long driveway that is lined with Sawtooth Oaks and Sunset Maples. The drive is complemented by the massive flagpole with majestic flags that seem to welcome you as you approach. |

The interior displays hardwood flooring that emulates the best work of the 19th century. It features early 20th century amenities such as a dumbwaiter and laundry chute. It also was built with a telephone booth, wine cellar, barber shop, dance floor with bar, and a walk-in vault with 2 inch thick steel doors to secure valuables.
Upon your arrival to the Mansion, you walk across slate sidewalks and onto a herringbone brick portico. Your gaze is drawn upwards and the grandeur of this Mansion is revealed. 20' tall massive fluted pillars with huge ornate Corinthian styled cornices give a commanding presence of awe.

Sunnybrae boasts a harmonious blend of unique family pieces, antiques, and reproductions. Some special points of interest are: the rare and original brass box lock on the front door; the Italian green marble pedestals majestically placed beside the breath-taking mantle mirror that engulfs the entire wall. This in turn reflects the grandeur of the grand piano. Not to be outdone is the equally impressive ten piece Edwardian dining room set across the foyer, complete with rosewood insets surrounded by dark walnut in the main table. To complement the table are rose marble insets on top of the buffet and tea server. Each bedroom and sun room take on their own unique characteristics to the smallest detail.
