Warmth and character welcome you with a generous covered screened-in porch surrounded by beautiful plantings and mature trees.

From the covered screened-in porch entry, the foyer opens to the spacious living room with bay window and a painted brick, wood-burning fireplace. The high ceilings and period-authentic picture moldings create a grand space. This is a room made for everyday living – curling up with a book on a winter evening or gathering friends around the fire.
