  • Step through the front door into a welcoming central foyer, where the main stairwell serves as a striking focal point, gracefully guiding the flow and layout of the home. Curved archways, crown moulding, wainscoting, and an ornate chandelier come together to create a space rich in elegance and architectural detail.

  • To your right, you’re welcomed into a spacious, front-facing living area featuring an original fireplace and a beautiful bay window.

A decorative ceiling medallion anchors a statement chandelier, completing a refined setting that is perfect for hosting.

  • At the front of the home, a beautifully appointed study offers a warm yet refined retreat. Rich wood-paneled walls contrast elegantly with crisp white millwork, creating a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic. The space is anchored by a classic fireplace with a detailed mantel, flanked by custom built-in bookshelves that provide both character and functionality.

  • Ascending the main staircase to the second level, you’re welcomed into an expansive primary suite that spans the full length of the home. Lined with a wall of windows, the space is bathed in natural light, highlighting the rich hardwood floors and refined millwork throughout. Thoughtfully designed for both comfort and functionality, the suite features a custom dressing area and seamless access to a private deck, complete with an outdoor shower, creating a serene, spa-like retreat.
