This light-filled home is rich with original craftsmanship, featuring soaring ceilings, gleaming oak floors, ornate woodwork, pocket doors, crown molding, and original brass hardware. Throughout the space, leaded and stained glass windows cast beautiful, shifting light, adding depth and color to every scene.
Multiple distinct rooms provide a variety of looks and textures, from elegant formal living spaces and a character-filled dining room to more intimate, private settings. A dramatic entryway and staircase create striking visual moments ideal for film and photography.

French doors open to a spacious outdoor deck, ideal for indoor/outdoor transitions and entertaining setups.
One of the home’s standout features is the sun-drenched third floor, transformed into a flexible creative space with multiple skylights that flood the area with natural light.
