The third floor offers three bedrooms, including one with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams plus two full baths.

The Little House with two car garage was constructed in 1922 for the original owner, Helen P. Seabrease, to right size into. The 1,925 sq ft little brick home has been completely restored from top to bottom and provides a great room with fire place and a wall of French doors that overlook the gorgeous lap pool with sophisticated hardscaping. The one-of-a-kind Little House is storied to have been a refuge for two US Presidents who visited as overnight guests and offers a full kitchen, two bedrooms, a changing room with half bath, plus a beautifully remodeled full bath.
