Enter from the signature wrapped around porch into the formal foyer with soaring ceiling and staircase. On the left is the parlor with pocket doors to the library; on the right are the drawing and dining rooms. Each features a marble or slate fireplace, chandeliers, plaster medallions and crown moldings. The informal space extends into both the all Bells and Whistles, eat-in Kitchen and upstairs into the family room with ensuite bedroom. Historic Appeal and Modern Livability!
