The most remarkable feature of this historic Georgian Colonial style home is the way previous owners nearly eliminated outdoor lawn and garden maintenance by installing a large deck system,complete with a covered cabana that once housed a hot-tub, multiple tiers,walkways, and water features. A very private yard features a goldfish pond and natural areas ~ again minimizing the tedious chores of landscape maintenance. 

A private driveway leads to an arbor that takes one through remaining lawn area surrounded by picket fencing ~ a wonderful play area for children. The deck leads one into the east facing multi-windowed side porch that stretches along the length of the kitchen ~ a great place for indoor plants, reading, or taking your morning coffee.This side porch is open to and an extension of the beautiful ceramic-tiled-floor cook’s kitchen in this home.
