Le Marais is an exquisite example of Georgian architecture, featuring double verandas that offer breathtaking views of the eastern marsh.

This remarkable residence, which has been recognized as an Extraordinary Property of the Day by Sotheby's International Realty, showcases exceptional moldings, fine millwork, and elegant interior design. Inside, the living room boasts a stunning French antique marble fireplace mantel, while the dining room is adorned with a rare 19th-century French chandelier.

Two generously sized guest suites, each with en-suite baths, provide privacy and comfort for visitors.
