A long & winding walkway surrounded by azaleas leads up to the front patio, providing lovely views of the neighboring homes. When you enter, there are touches of Art Deco in the door trim, the curved staircase, handrails & the marble fireplace surround in the step-down living room. The central foyer provides a large coat closet as well as the powder room. The expansive living room is three steps down, with 4 sets of French Doors, a beautiful wood burning fireplace and a curved bay window.
