Rare opportunity! You have always wondered about this historic property and now you have the chance to live here. This Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styled home was designed by famous architect Frank Mills Andrews and built in 1898. It was known as the Honeymoon Cottage because the owner let each of his 3 daughters live there when they were first married. Totally refurbished to exacting standards in 2011. This outstanding home blends the quality and beauty of this gilded age with all the conveniences of today. Some of the special features: The solarium (accessed by French doors) is repurposed as a home office with so much natural light it makes working a pleasure. The master is located in the turret and has a window seat, lighted crown molding and adjoining luxurious bath. Kitchen with stainless appliances plus a mudroom and butler's pantry. Check out the pictures. Absolutely one of a kind property. Seeing is believing!
