What we noticed when walking through

Set behind a deep wrought-iron forecourt on a quiet sycamore-lined stretch of Alder Row, this twenty-foot-wide townhouse keeps its original pier mirrors, pocket shutters, and plaster medallions intact.
The parlor level runs nearly sixty feet from front bay to rear terrace, catching direct southern light across the garden table from late morning through four in the afternoon.
Mechanical risers, roof membrane, and kitchen millwork were thoughtfully renewed three years ago without erasing the turn-of-the-century proportions.
