The expansive living room is anchored by a stately fireplace with original built-ins and enhanced by classic period details.

A convenient, beautifully tiled and heated private walkway provides interior access to the three-car garage. The coach house is 1120 sq. ft. and has a large living room with a vaulted ceiling, 2 beds/2 baths + office - a perfect spot for guests, multi-generational living or a coveted rental!
