Magnificent grounds feature multiple outdoor spaces including a covered porch, patio, vine-adorned pergola over deck, Koi pond, raised garden beds, and bench next to the sidewalk to foster neighborly exchanges, family photos and peaceful moments. 4 car tandem, attached garage. The Peabody House is a national landmark rich in history and grandeur. Landmark classification allows owners to change any detail to the interior and exterior, except the few landmarked areas (e.g., main staircase), so enjoy this terrific home as it is offered or make your desired changes.
