    For Early American History enthusiasts, this Pre-Revolutionary Colonial home originally belonging to David Lenox, representative to the Court of St. James, is on the market for the first time since 1975. This rare and authentic restoration, including paint colors researched by the Art Museum, original paneling, antique door hardware, floors, mantles, staircase, facade, etc. has been carefully blended with an up-to-date custom kitchen, baths reflecting period details, and a whole house Sonos state-of-the-art music system. It offers 4-6 bedrooms, 5 full baths, dining room, office, den and full basement with laundry & playroom. Enjoy stellar views from all windows, down charming Philip St. in the front, to your own rear garden with copper roofed shed, and lush neighboring gardens on all sides. All of this plus 2 CAR SECURE PARKING! Multiple built-in period-style bookcases, closets, and an office plus a wine cellar make this the perfect home for the historian who enjoys the comforts of modern life.
