Total renovation and modernization by descendants some 35 years ago, well maintained and updated since. Four bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen, den, library, formal dining room (with bay window). Lovely porch (overlooking the pool) off of the kitchen. Approximately 3800 sf.Additional historic family home moved onto the property 25+ years ago. Totally renovated and updated.
