It has also received a tremendous amount of attention to ensure its spirit while upgrading to today's standards and conveniences.

The fireplace set in a wall of paneling takes center stage of the room while the gorgeous bump-out bay window drenches the space with natural sunlight and provides a charming vignette for reading or visiting with smaller parties. It also boasts enough space to accommodate a game boards or secondary table settings. The adjacent dining area provides an intimate background for formal events, mainly due to its soft, enveloping sage green and cream designs lining the walls and wainscoting.

This level also includes a handy 10 x 12 square foot study, an 11 x 12 square foot bedroom, full bath and an inviting screen-in porch.
