From its stately position on the rarest of the area's brick-lined streets with a center median, the home welcomes you with inviting elegance...Plantation shutters, luscious bamboo wood floors, oversized baseboards, crown molding, and craftsman-style window casings, the hardscapes throughout the home are updated, neutral and high-end, allowing a range of decorating styles and colors.
