This site has raised three boys, a chef, an art collector and the talent and love that has gone into this house should shed good fortune on anyone who owns it in the future. It is a 4-5 bedroom home with two and a half baths. The home was redesigned by Tom dePaul in the late 70s to include a steel stair rail and raised dining room. The first floor bath was completed in 2019. Book shelves abound in this book lovers house as well as spaces for sculpture. The multicolored kitchen features a Chef's gas range, wall oven, and stainless steel pot hanging vent locally designed.
