There are two sets of washer/dryers-one on the top floor and one in the full-floor cellar. The mechanicals include zoned heating and cooling systems with touch-screen controls, a central vacuum, ADT Pulse alarm systems and Lutron Home Works lighting system.
This property is zoned for live/work and offers two entrances. Currently configured as a single family residence, other possible uses include an art gallery, physician's office or interior design firm.
