Love the interior, but looks like the grounds need some TLC

Just look at that stair hall in the main house as well as the exterior detail of the carriage house - sensational! This property has character and the stamp of quality all over it. The modern renovations inside have kept the moldings and assorted trim details in tact. While I agree "Monet" in that the landscaping and a few other bits still are be worked on (see the stairs to the porch) those are minor elements.

It really is a house that has a timeless, regal charm.

A grand old mansion full of charm and character! That said, the furnishings are not a match for the home. Really terrible choices in decor.

I'd love to get my hands on this and restore her to the grand lady she is.

And yes, I too agree. There are numerous repairs to be made but fun ones at that.
