About this home

Welcome to the stunning William Pierce Johnson house. Restored by other best restoration teams in the area, in 2003 this brick Georgian masterpiece is a rare and exceptional find with 11 impressive rooms, including five spacious bedrooms and eight stunning fireplaces. As you enter the foyer, you'll be immediately captivated by the intricate and rare double-hanging staircase, showcasing the home's grand architectural design. The front double parlors offer an elegant setting for hosting guests. The meticulously crafted lighting, original hardware, and breathtaking moldings and trim throughout the house exemplify the quintessential Georgian architecture. The 1st floor den doubles as a bedroom with a full bath. The second floor has the same high ceiling, large windows, and period features. The third floor has period paneling, a den bath, and 2 bedrooms. Even the basement is amazing with all newer systems, a poured concrete floor, and steel beams. All in the heart of the city.
