After many years of neglect, the Marler's purchased the property in the early 90's, the home has been completely rehabbed and restored to its original grandeur, along with the addition of a bedroom, bath, rear hall & enlarged Kitchen; all which were a part of a rear Lean-to. This Federal Style home boasts original Cypress & Pine wood floors, exposed beams in kitchen, interior brick walls, thresholds & more. Once an open 1 story porch; now a 28' 4 Seasons enclosed porch on both levels. Great for rec room & family room. From the enclosed main floor porch are magnificent views of the Perennial Gardens with brick walkways; all enclosed by a beautiful ornate iron fence. Upon entering the gardens and just a few short steps across is a 1 bedroom cottage, 508 Wiliam, on separate parcel listed at $79,900, that originally housed the Summer Kitchen. Laundry/Workroom in heated garage.
