Undoubtedly the most eclectic, it is a Queen Anne style home that exhibits characteristics of both the Spindle-work and Free Classic Styles in its gable detailing, roof brackets, dentil molding, paneling, and classic columns. The detailing on the gables, roof brackets, dentil molding, and paneling adds depth and texture to the exterior, while the classic columns provide a touch of elegance and sophistication.

The attention to detail is evident in every corner of this beautiful home, from the intricate shingle-clad turret and roof to the patterned panels that adorn the exterior.
