This magnificent home has the look, feel, charm & quality of a bygone era. They aren't building homes with a side carriage entrance anymore.It's a lovely detail that brings to mind the glamour & beauty of "Silk Stocking Row."

From just the entrance a guest can see into not only the living room, the formal dining room, the kitchen & bright open study but also the grand stairway where just a few generations of elegant ladies made their first appearance for a number of galas, celebrations, balls, proms, weddings & other such events.If ever you've been mesmerized by a scene from a movie where a lovely young woman descended a gleaming hard wood stairway & dreamed of owning such a grand place, this is your opportunity. It won't come often. The current owner is only the fourth family to own this property. Downstairs living area is large a mostly open.
