English Rohl fixtures and Urban Archaeology lighting in the kitchen enhance the experience. The three bathrooms have been updated with Newport Brass fixtures in the main bath and a convenient second-floor laundry setup. Custom Marvin windows were used for replacement where needed bring in natural light while staying true to the home's historic integrity.Outside, the professionally landscaped yard offers a tranquil oasis with a heated saltwater pool finished in Japanese tile and pebble tech, a Baja deck with a shower, and spa.
