Welcome to the historic Frederick Nance House, an exceptionally refined Greek revival design attributed to world renowned architect Robert Mills. Having designed some of the nation's most prominent public buildings, including the Washington Monument, this one was uniquely created as a private residence.

Each room claims its own fireplace. The current owners have worked tirelessly to ensure the home's preservation and legacy by maintaining period chandeliers, ornate mantels, and delicate woodworking throughout. Wall and trim colors, meticulously chosen, add an elegance of classic design. The home showcases museum-quality 18th and 19th century antiques which can be purchased at an additional cost.
