The main house offers three spacious bedrooms, while the front room is bathed in natural light and anchored by an original fireplace and can serve as a beautiful living space with direct access to one of the home's iconic double piazzas.Inside, you'll find a stunning collection of preserved historic details, including original fireplaces, exposed brick, original rafters, and intricate trim work--all thoughtfully integrated into a functional, flowing floor plan.
