In the heart of the sought-after West Wind neighborhood, this exceptional home offers a rare blend of legacy, lifestyle, and thoughtful design in Hamburg.

Originally built by Farah Builders as a personal residence, this home offers over 4,600 finished square feet, including approximately 1,750 square feet in the finished basement, with a level of craftsmanship and architectural detail that's increasingly rare. Rich hardwood floors, extensive dentil molding and crown molding, detailed decorative brickwork, copper flashing, and subtle eave lighting all contribute to its timeless appeal.
