The house was originally configured with 7 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 2 half baths and 1 quarter bath in the attached 3 car garage. A den/library with 2 walk-in closets can be used as an additional bedroom or home office. There was a grand entry foyer leading on one side to a formal dining room and on the other side to an elegant living room with a wood burning fireplace and a pair of French doors opening to a majestic garden terrace. The large kitchen included a walk-in pantry and an adjacent windowed breakfast room and butler’s pantry.
