Distinctive architectural character defines this beautifully designed 2–3 bedroom townhome, cherished by the same owner for 30 years. Soaring 9-foot ceilings and four tall living room windows frame serene views of Ralph Avery Mall from the welcoming front porch — a truly unique setting in historic Corn Hill.
