Comprehensive renovation in 2001 when roof, plumbing, wiring, major systems, windows, etc. were replaced. Large and gracious reception rooms with high ceilings and oversize windows, excellent traffic flow through double doors on the first floor, and the eat-in kitchen present wonderful possibilities. Living room with fireplace. There is a full bath at this level. Lovely wood floors and period detail accent the spaces. At the second level, there are three good-size bedrooms and a full bath. There are many lovely views from the house’s windows. At the third level, there is a study as well as a fourth bedroom. The basement is the full footprint of the residence offering great storage. A pleasant outdoor space at the side of the house invites the imagination to create a secluded and private urban garden.
