The home's curb appeal is captivating, featuring a steep-pitched gable roof, an arched entry adorned with stone quoins and porte-cochre. Landscape artist Benjy Levinson designed the lush landscaping along with the quaint front patio and custom iron gates designed to echo the 1920s, which further enhance the property's charm. Known as the P.W.
