Near the new Fiske School, Large columns and rich green Andersen windows set off this New Colonial with Victorian flair. Distinctive 2-panel doors, tasteful woodwork, built-ins, coffered ceilings and 2 marble fireplaces are but a few of the customized appointments. Bourdeaux maple and antique linen cabinets brighten and warm the kitchen while the large mahogany deck overlooks the private back yard. Nearly 1000 sf of walk-out lower level space, with full size windows, begs for expansion.
