A creative oasis steeped in history while also a short distance to Manhattan.

Newly installed cobblestone patio under mature trees offers both privacy and shade for this outstanding entertaining space. The master bedroom has oversized southeastern views for great morning light with an 11'4" high sloped ceiling along with an oversized walk-in closet. A decorative fireplace provides old world charm.

All-new heat, hot water, and electrical service components will provide years of faithful service.
