The hardwood floors continue into the parlor to the left, currently used as a home study. This room has a fireplace with an Italian tile surround in a vibrant shade of green and walls painted coral with gold detailing. A powder room is also in this part of the house.
The formal living room to the right of the foyer has wallpaper inspired by popular vintage patterns and colors. This room has access to an enclosed porch and to a formal dining room with a built-in bar and cabinetry for storing dishes and glassware.
A butler’s pantry connects the dining room to the kitchen, which has a stained-glass window and updated appliances, including a Viking range. From here, a staircase leads to the third floor, once home to the servant’s quarters.
The main staircase, in the foyer, leads to the second floor. The two bedrooms to the right of the landing are roughly equal in size and have doors topped by stained-glass transom windows. The primary bedroom is painted a dark green, and the other bedroom, used as a den, has a fireplace with an ornate mantel.
Next door is a guest room with floral wallpaper, and at the other end of the hall is the fourth bedroom, as well as a laundry room. The bathroom, off the center of the hall, has a claw-foot soaking tub.
The fifth bedroom, another full bathroom and another half bathroom are on the third floor, which includes an open space used as a den and a kitchenette.
Outdoor space: The original carriage house currently serves as a two-bedroom rental. The yard between it and the main house is neatly landscaped with grass. The detached garage holds two cars.
Taxes: $11,976 (estimated)
