Inside, elegant architectural details such as transom windows, crown moldings, and inlaid hardwood floors add character and warmth. Recent upgrades reflect the homeowners’ commitment to quality: modern light fixtures and ceiling fans, a Restoration Hardware dining chandelier, an EV charger in the garage, new bathroom fans with heater functions, and a 2021 washer and dryer in lower level.
