This handsome home includes the highest level of design and sophistication yet is surprisingly livable. From the Charleston style gas lanterns that grace the front porch, immense solid wood doors, striking antique copper door, to the bronze railings, Lannon stone accent walls, burnished beams and antique bricks. Metals. Exquisitely hand forged brass, copper, nickel and iron. Quality one finds in museums and custom homes such as this - a residence for generations to enjoy.
