A gourmet kitchen with soapstone counters, and Thermador suite flows to dining for 18 and a screened porch. Modern systems include 5-zone HVAC, Navien hydro-air, and 400-amp service. Perennial gardens, gracious porches, granite patio with in-ground hot tub, vegetable garden, and original stone potting shed add historic charm.
