Each room in this 2977 sq. ft home has been preserved to reflect the charm of yester years. High ceilings, original fir flooring, amazing stained glass windows, built-in cabinets & shelving in most of the rooms, original light fixtures, regal staircase, a wood fireplace with beautiful tiles & wood mantle & of course a claw foot bathtub. The country kitchen opens to a spacious eating area, with french doors leading to the sundeck & large back patio area. There is also a grand separate formal dining room. Off the living room there is a study/TV room which once housed the Admiral's butterfly collection. To complete the main, another den/office with original built in shelving. Upstairs, 3 large & sunny bedrooms and full bathroom. The master bedroom has an adjoining room which was originally a nursery & is now used as an exercise room.
