The home’s mansard roofline, ornate detailing, and generous scale announce its presence with confidence, while mature landscaping and broad porches soften the façade and offer a welcoming transition into a space defined by elegance and comfort. Inside the 6,437± square foot residence, a distinguished central staircase anchors the interior and soaring ceilings, inlaid hardwood floors, and richly carved moldings speak to the artistry of the era.
