Throughout, you'll find many wonderful period details, including built-in cabinetry, original wood flooring, and original wood moldings echoing the home's storied past. A welcoming foyer showcases beautiful stained glass windows that fill the entry with warm, colorful light.

Spacious yard for entertaining or relaxing, ample gardens and space for more if you've got a green thumb.
