What was once a utilitarian English basement is now a bedroom with full bath, recreation room with kitchenette, media room, and large laundry...all with fireplaces. This level offers the option of independent living, and the ground level entry with an elevator servicing three floors makes the home handicapped accessible.
The main level features a formal parlor, dining room, small parlor, library and the kitchen. Complete with fireplace and butler's pantry, the kitchen complements the warm sophistication of the home yet easily accommodates the needs for entertaining on a grand scale.
Upstairs, there is primary suite with a large dressing room and bath. There are two other bedrooms with private baths and an office.
The third floor is accessed by the same impressive stairway, has the same wide center hall and 4 multipurpose rooms.
The grounds include the old cistern and the old smokehouse houses the impressive utility systems including the geothermal HVAC, elevator hydraulics and other utilities.
