This home has a rich and storied place in the city's history, having been home to merchants, governors and academics alike.

To the right is the living room with 11' ceilings, crown moldings and rich wood floors that extend throughout. A library features a fireplace and custom bookcases.
Across the hall is the dining room, which can accommodate an intimate dinner or a full-scale banquet. Through the full-service pantry is the kitchen with cherry wood cabinetry, a center island, stone counters, and professional-grade appliances. At the back is a service hall, half bath and storage. An amazing family room extends along the back of the house with floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors that step out to the rear garden, capped by an elliptical skylight reminiscent of the original.
The second floor has a generous primary suite with a walk-in dressing room and a full tile bath. Two more-bedroom suites and a study complete this level.
