The property boasts mature oaks & maples, with colorful azaleas blooming every Spring. With just three owners in its 80+ year history, this stately home is now ready to welcome its next steward. A unique solid wood door with stained glass insert beckons from the front flagstone patio, welcoming you into a 2-story foyer illuminated in natural light, courtesy of a large window adorned with stained glass accents.
