Highly-respected builder's residence, now touting nearly 1600 SF of well-finished basement living area. Longfellow once penned, "Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest; home-keeping hearts are happiest." The poet's sentiment perfectly captures the spirit of this graceful southern estate, its modest grandeur flowing from an unpretentious, classical elevation, a sun-saturated interior, a fireside feel of hospitality and a thoughtful preservation of the lot's natural beauty. A peerless offering inside 540.©
