Both the primary and secondary front bedrooms are generously sized and provide ample storage with built-in wardrobes tucked in the closet recesses. The hallway bathroom features an original cast-iron clawfoot tub, a pedestal sink and original built-in storage and casement windows. The rear bedroom is tucked away and offers views of the lush, private backyard. A convenient bathroom with a stall shower makes the rear bedroom an ideal guest suite. The attic space offers generous storage space. The lush, private backyard sanctuary is the perfect backdrop for entertaining!

A secret garden behind the carriage house showcases glass greenhouses blooming with vegetation and an enchanting outdoor dining area with twinkling cafe lights. A concealed storage shed with power doubles as a workshop and additional ample storage neatly hides garden tools.
