This home beautifully blends classic charm with modern luxury, offering a spacious and thoughtfully designed layout that's perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. As you step inside the original front door into the foyer, you'll be taken by the grand formal living room with original stained-glass bay windows and a beautifully restored decorative fireplace with the original mantle. A separate formal dining room offers an ideal space for meals, while the adjacent additional family room provides more room to gather and relax. For added convenience, you'll find a first-floor bedroom and a full bathroom, making this level perfect for guests or multi-generational living.
