A stone and shingle façade with expansive front porch greets you from the street as you make your way to the alcove entry. Let family members know guest have arrived through the built-in intercom system to all rooms from front door. In the back, a mahogany deck and screen porch is a quiet place to relax.

The first floor boasts ten-foot ceilings and red oak floors. The foyer is set apart with a hand crafted coffered ceiling and wrought iron chandelier.
