PROS
Rooms on the first and second floors have 12-foot ceilings, bay windows, extensive molding and built-in cabinets. The wide-plank wood floors in the kitchen and family room are heated. The converted lounge in the carriage house feels like a British pub and is large enough to accommodate a big crowd.
CONS
Reaching the third-floor primary bedroom suite requires climbing two steep staircases, and the suite’s awkward layout includes two walk-in closets, one as large as the bedroom.

PROS
The home sits higher than the properties behind it, giving the backyard privacy. The interior is adorned with lighting fixtures and chandeliers accompanied by large windows throughout.
CONS
The house is heated by oil. The layout of the primary bedroom and bath feels constricted, and a few of the larger rooms feel empty as opposed to spacious.
