Inside,this exquisite home features 6 fireplaces,a library, modern chef's kitchen & countless Victorian architectural details including pocket doors, transit windows, built in locking cabinetry, original stained glass & curved windows. Intricate woodwork from a bygone era shines throughout, epically in the library & hallways. Step back in time though the working windowed doors that open onto charming & inviting porches on both the north and south side. Blending timeless elegance w/modern comfort you do not find a historical home like this available often.
