Second floor features spacious landing, four bedrooms including master with double closets and master bath and a walk-out glassed atrium. Second bath off hallway is updated and retains original built-ins. Third floor has two bedrooms with original casement windows, one with built-in drawers, both with closets; third floor bath also retains several original fixtures. Wraparound porch is screened in one section and leads off to a hardwood deck and patio. House is set on spacious lot that includes a brook and small pond, landscaping, and perennial and herb gardens. Detached garage is a converted carriage house with an automatic door and side stall area used as a potting shed, extensively renovated in 2016. Many updates including kitchen appliances and counters (2002), newer roof (2006), restored flagstone patio, rebuilt and relined chimney (2009).
