Designated a Contributing Building by The National Register of Historic Places, this elegant two story brick Colonial Revival house was the original home on Cornwall Road. A tree-lined, slate-bordered gravel drive leads to this beautiful, privately sited home in the midst of 3.71 acres, A gorgeous lawn frames the stately columned slate front porch. High ceilings, beautiful millwork, a walnut paneled den, a spectacular pair of curved staircases are only part of what make this property special. Meticulously maintained, carefully preserving its old world charm to showcase the fact that good design is timeless.
Primary BR has door from the bath that opens onto the upper porch. Main Level BR could be a second primary and has a door opening onto the front slate porch. Fireplace (not included in the MLS count) on lower level covered brick patio is not working. The basketball court to the upper left of the driveway is part of the property.
