About this home

A fabulous blend of striking period detail coupled with modern updates provides a beautiful setting for comfortable living and entertaining.

The large wraparound porch at the front entry allows for ample space to relax and enjoy and welcomes all who enter the home. The entry parlor features a dramatic delft tiled fireplace with intricate millwork. The newly expanded kitchen features stunning custom cabinetry, a large center island, and beautiful marble countertops.
