This grand center hall colonial home sits to the side of an expansive 13,667 square foot lot, creating an unparalleled opportunity of endless possibilities to create a spectacular one of a kind residence. The main house has been virtually untouched for 80 years; its grandeur has endured the test of time. Truly a unique opportunity.
