This unique residence is one of just a handful of grand houses in the area that is over 32-ft wide, and one of the only of this breadth that maintains the original footprint and original intact detail. The current owners are just the 4th family to own the home since 1887 when George Kenyon commissioned the house. With 12 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms and 3 half baths this grand property spans over 7000sf of interior space with an additional 1280sf of outdoor space for a staggering 8400 in total.

The fifth floor is a spectacular, separate two-bedroom loft apartment showcasing vaulted 12-ft ceilings, original beams, a fireplace, full kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, laundry, balcony, and 2 skylights.
