The nearly 7,000 sq ft Victorian home spans three levels and boasts a generous wraparound porch perfect for entertaining and sunset watching. Inside, a grand foyer welcomes you with soaring ceilings and a curved staircase. The two-story circular library is a rare architectural gem, while the remodeled kitchen with a wood-burning fireplace creates a cozy gathering space.
