Inside, the spacious three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout perfectly balances grand character with everyday comfort. You'll be delighted by the practical surprises, too—like the large primary walk in closet and a versatile bonus room in the basement that’s just waiting to become your new home office or cozy media den.
