The kitchen is new, the gas furnace is new, the exterior paint is new. But the doorway spandrels, the butler’s pantry, and built-ins for linens? They’re old (and charming). Two bedrooms and a full bath are up on the third floor; an office can be found on the first. In all, there are 11 rooms in 3,434 square feet with nooks and crannies and angles aplenty.
