Mathews & Son, characteristic details include soaring vaulted ceilings, hickory hardwood floors, hand-forged stair rails, and exquisite “Bella Ironworks” custom chandeliers. The kitchen and baths sparkle with Ann Sacks tile and Rohl fixtures in polished nickel. Nothing was spared to achieve the extraordinary level of quality and craftsmanship in this home.

Flanking the entry is a lovely dining room and a classic alder wood-paneled office/library with cozy fireplace. Both rooms have beautiful French doors to the front porch.
