A detached two-car garage is equipped with solar panels for the home’s electric battery back-up system, ensuring power.  A quiet sunken garden is near the inground pool with travertine deck, built by Delano & Aldrich in 1928, which needs TLC.  This elegant home feels a world apart from the modern world, yet stands solidly updated.  It is conveniently located just minutes from schools, railroad, parkways, and vibrant Huntington Village, with its shops, restaurants and galleries.  This distinctive home’s historic craftsmanship with modern enhancements is a rare opportunity to own a treasure from the past while adding your own history to its future.  Please refer to the website listing for additional pictures and contact information!
