Step into the front yard and the surprises continue: this home astounds with its generous size, a floor plan that balances private and public spaces with elegance and ease, and attention to exquisite details, like chair rails and crown moldings, sturdy hardware and beautifully appointed closets, all of which elevate the place from pretty to sublime.
