The grand foyer welcomes you with a grand staircase accented with tin chair railing. The parlor has a built-in bookcase and marble fireplace. The dining room features large windows and spacious China closet. The master suite features a fireplace and en-suite bathroom and opens to the sitting room with bay window and marble fireplace. The kitchen is charmed with a remarkable wood marble and stained-glass bar from the Marshall Candy Kitchen. Upstairs are three bedrooms with the potential for a 4th. The upstairs includes a full bathroom with marble sinks and a clawfoot bathtub. On the .6 acre lot is a 2 car garage with a bathroom and covered porch. TOO MUCH TO LIST!
