Originally built in the 1790s, with additions dating from the 1820s through the early 1900s, this approximately 4,060-square-foot mansion has been meticulously restored, lovingly maintained, and filled with architectural details that simply cannot be recreated.

The exterior is every bit as special. An enormous wraparound porch features beautiful curved architectural details and showcases the home’s remarkable original curved windows. The grounds also include a separate historic summer kitchen and basement root cellar, all surrounded by a picturesque garden setting.

Set on an impressive 1.69-acre lot, the property is enhanced by numerous mature trees, including a magnificent mature magnolia tree that commands attention on the front lawn.
