The Classical facade of this residence is just a hint of what is behind the front door. Incredible decorative moldings and woodwork greet you the moment you step inside the 22'' long columned LR just made for an elegant soiree. The spacious DR opens onto a long, transverse hall which separates the more formal areas at the front of the home from the BR's and den. A built-in bookcase-lined study leads to the comfortable, paneled den with FP overlooking the beautiful formal boxwood garden. This rear living space is a serene oasis with a center fountain and pergola sitting area. The entire property is beautifully maintained and expertly landscaped, with lovely vignettes everywhere you look. The perfect city pied-a-terre..
