Multiple stained glass windows and pocket doors, original hardware, 3 fireplaces and front and back stairs are just some of the features. A kitchen any chef would love with high end appliances, heated stone floors and a huge island with Carerra Gold marble counter, great for making pastries. Huge walk-up attic could be finished for more space. Currently has 2 semi-finished rooms and with additional 43x20 space could make wonderful master suite. Five large bedrooms on second floor. The gardens outside hide several patio areas and feature many unique trees and perennials appropriate for a home from Victorian era. Still needs some work, but the owner has made many improvements.
