On 2.3 lovely landscaped acres featuring formal gardens, stone walls, and a raised bluestone terrace, the home also retains its original picturesque greenhouse with brick floor and metal plant stands. A lovely iron trellis envelopes the covered front porch which features an inlaid bronze compass in the floor.
