Featuring nearly 2,654 sq ft of living space, this landmark residence showcases tall ceilings, intricate millwork, a marble fireplace, a grand staircase, and generously sized rooms filled with character and history. Outdoors, you'll find an in-ground pool, detached pool house, mature trees, and an expansive private setting rarely found at this price point.
