Modern with a Sense of History The 1881 Victorian townhouse was completely renovated and updated in the 1990's. The remodeling kept many of the best features of the 19th century, including pocket doors, 12' ceilings, carved woodwork, crown moldings, pocket doors and 3 working fireplaces. One particularly dramatic feature added with the renovations is a 2 story atrium with curved stairway to the rear courtyard and garden. The home is centrally air-conditioned and heated for year round comfort.
