Often with three or more bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, these properties also often have study rooms, a parlor and, depending on their age, servant staircases.

Often with a mix of hardwood flooring, carpet and tile, these homes are well-maintained yet still retain many original features such as wood burning fireplaces and mantles, crown molding and coffered ceilings.
