Visitors note at once the results of careful planning by the original owners who designed their home in 1959 and executed their dream with renowned architect John Briggs and homebuilder, Louis Coiro. The plan is extraordinary...gracious and grand! Setting the tone for airy spaces beyond, the two-story foyer is keynoted by an imposing staircase transported from a known city residence and created of black cherry and mahogany with striking sculptural enhancement topped with the sign of hospitality displayed in the claw foot and pineapple motif. Mahogany floors grace foyer, living and dining rooms.
