Freshly updated with newly painted interiors, refinished hardwood floors, and new carpet, the home is bright and light yet true to its authentic architectural design, circa 1928. Windows and doors with argyle-patterned glass in many rooms exemplify the Tudor design along with an impressive display of crown glass in the ballroom-scaled living room with dramatic all-wood cathedral ceiling. A handsomely paneled formal dining room, spacious eat-in kitchen, and large library or den all open to the walk-out gardens for al fresco enjoyment.
