There are some gems of antiques here.Above the attic is a Belvedere which gives a panoramic of the city - at the time the house was built the owner would have been able to observe both the dockyard and, later, his cotton mill from here.There is also a 2-story plus walk-out basement carriage house (800 ft^2 / floor) on the property which could be turned into a triplex - once you cleared all of the old tack and antique furniture out of it.It was like a trip back in time - the grandeur of the place was impressive.The house - future?

In fact, it sort of looks like a high-end antique store that was vandalized by an angry raccoon who liked decorating the piles with ladies shoes.
