This architectural gem spans 5,535 square feet across three stately levels, offering 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. Once home to Anna Bissell McCay, daughter of the Bissell vacuum family, and her husband, architect William S.

Two grand porte-cocheres frame the entrance, inviting you into a world of ornate detailing and historic charm.
