There have been only six owners of this residence since being built in 1834 by Captain Francis West a prominent sea captain, shipbuilder, and ivory entrepreneur who built the home for his wife. An extensive amount of renovations has been done by the current owners, keeping the Historic character in tact. A complete list of upgrades is available upon request. As you enter the home from the front two story wrap around porch you enter a large foyer leading to a beautiful living room with high ceilings with lots of architectural moldings. From the living room you enter the dining room large enough to seat 14. Off the dining area there is an entrance to a second master bedroom with small kitchenette that could be an in-law suite with it's own private entrance to the front porch or beautifully landscaped patio in the back. Another door from the dining room leads down a hallway passing a second stairway to the upstairs and entering an enlarged kitchen with island and working fireplace. All recently added cherry cabinets and modern appliances. The two sided fireplace faces another sitting area with lots of windows, a glassed in atrium area for light meals, a mud room off the back door completes the kitchen. Upstairs there are 3 other bedrooms plus the master with in-suite bath. The master has a separate dressing room and also recently added outside deck. In 2006 a 3 car garage and shed were added with solar panels. Home will be featured in a Wall Street Journal historic home article.
