It is essentially a time capsule. Little has changed since it was built. A solid brick home designed by Calvin James Young & decorated by a Pomeroy's interior designer. Beautiful Tudor arches, diamond-pane leaded-glass casement windows, original sconces, & chandelier. Western Electric intercom system throughout (not in working order), buttons in various rooms including dining room are wired to servants' call box in the kitchen, plus milk & bread delivery boxes are built-in to side door add to the antiquity of the house! All 3 tiled baths remain original~~~tubs, pedestal sinks, toilet, fixtures & built-in electric wall heaters. The kitchen has been opened up & tumbled marble tile has been added, plus owner devised marble design at Tudor arch above & behind cooktop stove. Custom Rich Maid cherry cabinetry & Corian countertops complete this lovely eat-in kitchen! In-law or family room in LL with 1/2 bath. 3rd floor has been amazingly transformed with rustic brick walls!
