Also includes: columned upper level great room with built-ins and French doors to terrace; grand size living room and dining room opening onto canopied brick and stone terrace; a ladies and gentlemen's lounge with wet bar; first floor remodeled efficiency apartment with attached greenhouse and the second is a one bedroom apartment with the 6 car garage. A rare opportunity to own a piece of history.
