In addition to the mansion house & approximately 9.31 acres, this property also includes 2 guest houses plus a stable. The mansion house is livable but in need of general restoration.

The original house, a two story Greek Revival was brick laid in Flemish bond, with exterior chimneys at its gable ends. There was one room on each side of a central hall with the same arrangement on the second floor. Today the house has wings on each side & the roofline in front was extended for a 2 story portico supported by Tuscan columns w. a Colonial Revival faade. The original stairway w. hand carved elements still has a commanding presence & the entry door & window surrounds remain their original Greek Revival lintels.
