Having been lovingly held by the same family for decades, the home now awaits a new owner with the vision to undertake a comprehensive restoration and create a truly extraordinary downtown residence.A garden wall draped in mature greenery, established landscaping, and a striking whitefaçade accented by classic black shutters create an elegant first impression.
