This distinguished 20’ five-story single-family abode spans approximately 6000 square feet of opulent interior space, complemented by a delightful garden and a finished basement complete with a new boiler.

The kitchen opens up to a lovely garden, while a back stairwell provides convenient access to the formal dining room one floor above and the basement below.
Parlor Floor: Ascend to the grandest level of this remarkable home, where an expansive, sun-drenched formal living room awaits, adorned with a wood-burning fireplace and an original mantel.
