The house is elegantly set on a quiet street with impressive landscaping on a private and open 1.4 acre lot. The spacious interior is richly detailed with wood trim, freshly polished wood floors, interior pillars, a grand sun porch to enjoy the breeze, plus many windows that surround the main level to allow sunlight from all directions. Completing the grand main level is a formal living room, a formal dining area with a second fireplace, a grand great room with a beach stone fireplace and a full bath, laundry room. The kitchen has a breakfast room, two pantries, granite counters and dated cabinets. This space can shine with some creative planning. The upper level offers a master suite with a newly remodeled full bath, 4 other bedrooms, two more full baths and a spacious separate In-law suite offering one bedroom, a kitchen, full bath and living area with built-ins. Not to be missed is the detached original chauffer's 2/3 car garage that includes a workshop. This special property is now available for the first time in over 50 years. It needs to be seen to be truly appreciated.
