The gated entry is adorned with authentic gas lights, and the exquisite interiors showcase reclaimed cherry hardwood floors, plaster-cast crown moldings, and detailed paneling and trim work. The gourmet kitchen opens to a spacious family room with a cathedral ceiling, while the formal living and dining rooms, mahogany library, and conservatory provide ample space for entertaining. Upstairs, the master suite includes a sitting room, dressing area, and luxurious bath, along with three additional en-suite bedrooms and an office.
