This home preserves much of the original detailing including intricate woodworking around the main entry and doorways, beautiful original vestibule doors, plaster ceiling medallions, bannisters, pocket doors, pocket shutters, inlay parquet floors, and 5 decorative fire places that give gorgeous character and charm throughout.
Intelligently configured so that an owner can live in the upper 3 bed plus office, 1.5 bath duplex while collecting rent from the garden level 2 bedroom apartment below. This 2,040sqft, 17 foot wide home, is set on a 100 foot long lot with a peaceful backyard and spacious deck off the kitchen.
