I have been restoring this home for 35 years. It is artistically and carefully restored using the highest quality materials. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own this exquisite residence. Every square inch of the home was stripped with a toothbrush.

The new $40 Million Town Branch Park to be completed in 2025 is just steps away across High Street.

Adjacent to the 40 by 20-foot deck is a parking area with room for three to four cars. The basement has an outside entrance. ADDITIONAL RESTORATION DETAILS: The entire house has been rewired and replumbed. Foam insulation has been installed on the basement walls followed by additional R30 insulation for added protection against the cold, insulation has been installed in all areas, seven exterior walls on the first floor were rebuilt to enable the installation of foam insulation, the original cove molding remains in the front hall and dining room with crown molding added to every room on the first floor in 2018.
