Beautifully preserved period details include soaring ceilings, intricate millwork, custom built-ins, floor-to-ceiling windows, multiple fireplaces, original lighting, and a striking butterfly staircase. A spectacular 60-foot mahogany-covered porch sets the tone for the gracious interiors beyond.

Several en suite bedrooms offer flexibility, while the impressive primary suite includes multiple private rooms and its own balcony.
