Overview
Circa 1836, the Augustus Taft House is situated on a large, double lot and is a prime example of early Greek Revival style. Downstairs features double parlors which include the original marble fireplace mantels, ceiling medallions and plaster cornices, a large, formal dining room and an updated, modern kitchen. The main house has 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms and 2 half bathrooms, and the attached three story carriage house has 1 bedroom, 1 1/2 bathrooms and a full kitchen. The exterior of the main house is highly durable black Cyprus siding and the carriage house is masonry over brick. There are double piazzas that wrap around the house and offer serene views of the beautiful garden. Additional features include an in-ground pool, an abundance of additional storage under the house, jibwindows along both piazzas and a ground floor elevator that services all levels.
