A sandstone staircase with wrought iron gas lamps and railings complements the elegant window-lined facade and adjacent garden with a secondary entrance.
The stunning living room, dining room and family room showcase period plaster cornices adorning the 12' ceiling ands marble fireplace mantles. Full-length windows with original interior folding shutters and a pair of original gilt pier mirrors, which are original to the home, reflect the expansive floor plan. Pocket doors between these areas provide the option for creating intimate spaces or joining the multiple rooms for a more open floor plan. Triple Niermann Weeks chandeliers unite the three rooms.
A beautiful breakfast room, conservatory and a newly renovated kitchen provide views of the landscaped walled gardens. Adjacent to the kitchen is a lovely breakfast room with 14' ceilings and expansive bay windows. The breakfast room opens to a window-lined conservatory with scalloped window shelves, thought to be original to the home, and arched glass window paned doors opening to the garden area. A charming office with custom fitted cabinetry and a painted geometric pattern floor provides access to the garden's private courtyard. A beautifully designed elevator and a stunning French-inspired powder room with stone basin and floor complete this level

An additional laundry room is located adjacent to the primary suite.
A staircase to the uppermost level leads to an additional large finished room with exposed brick walls and recessed lighting. In the unfinished area one can see the top of the historic oculus skylight and graffiti on the wall believed to have been written by Civil War soldiers.
