The HISTORY: The house was built in 1935 by the first head physician of our local Pardee Hospital. Later it was purchased by a Hungarian Count. There were priceless works of art in the house, including Rembrandt and Francois Boucher paintings, rare porcelains etc. The Count was in a relationship with Liberace. Yes! You read right! Thee Liberace, famous pianist and entertainer. The Count and Liberace added the turret and the music room to the house because they entertained a lot. Currently the turret houses the dining room downstairs and the Anna Suite upstairs.The music room is now Dr. Filiz's consultation and treatment room. She does see some patients Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Her services would also be available to book for you. She is a Doctor of Oriental and Functional Medicine, licensed in NC and FL.
