The covered front porch and balcony have lovely iron appointments, and the slate roof above will protect and perform for years to come.Pristine and tasteful, a stunning interior has been thoughtfully upgraded and modernized with designer selects at every turn.

Four fireplaces, recently cleaned, enhance the study, formal dining room, family room, and upper level bedroom.
