The breathtaking designs continue inside the home with original heart pine floors, plaster ceiling medallions, outstanding millwork, fireplaces with intricate wood and tile surrounds, high ceilings with crown molding, and so much more. In the spacious entryway, you'll find a grand staircase, fireplace and seating area. To the right is a formal living space with French doors leading to the porch and a cozy study separated by oversized pocket doors. A large formal dining room is through the door just past the stairs, and an additional generously-sized room with a full bath can be used as a main level bedroom or family room. A roomy half bath is located under the rear staircase and features marble tile flooring.
