The central stairway is framed by sturdy decorative wrought iron railings & an original telephone room is tucked away on the lower landing. The formal dining room & breakfast room lead to a beautifully appointed chef's kitchen with custom cabinets, counter tops & high-end appliances. A period maid's quarters can be found beyond the kitchen. A downstairs family room offers a wet bar and a full bath servicing the adjacent pool area. Upstairs are 3 large bedrooms & 2 baths. The master bedroom opens to a private rooftop terrace with panoramic views & the master bath has been updated in a subtle palette. A massive attic tops it all off.
