The second floor has 4 en-suite bedrooms, including a master suite with a cathedral ceiling, its own sitting room, 2 walk-in closets, and a glass door to a private porch. The third floor has 3 additional bedrooms, a full bathroom and a large storage room.

The finished basement includes a recreation room, exercise room, mudroom, and a maid's room with a full bathroom. Central HVAC. Elevator with access to all floors. There is a private cobbled driveway and an attached 3-car garage. The property totals approximately 0.88 acres.
