Across from the Old Governor's Mansion

An interesting Victorian that sits slightly above the street, this house projects a sense of happiness and security, days of girl scouts, fifty years ago, gathering here for Thursday afternoon meetings and week-end spend-the-night parties – a place where they learned to cook, to sew, to write, to dance, where they learned to like each other and themselves. In more recent years, the feeling has been the happiness and the security of a family and the joy of friends and neighbors – but it is all about the house – there are spacious rooms, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, wide halls, high ceilings, lovely floors, beautiful woodwork and intricate fretwork – have you noticed the porch, the lovely English garden, or the terrace that’s just right for springtime breakfast – and, oh yes, there is a wonderful kitchen where a cup of coffee or tea is mandatory – completely redone, refurbished and redecorated.
