The south facing jewel box garden offers excellent light for gardening and a lovely deck for dining al fresco.There is a spacious laundry room on the top level that offers tremendous storage as well, and throughout you will find delightful vestiges of the past such as antique light fixtures and telephones that were used to call floor to floor, casement windows, two stained-glass skylights, and even a hidden built-in wall safe. The oak floors have been preserved and there are spacious closets and light throughout this magical house. The five fireplaces are decorative but were originally functional.
