Beautiful dining room, plus kitchen with an eat-in bay window area.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, comfortably appointed, and another bathroom. There is also a barn which can be used as a painting studio or storage area.

Please excuse that there are no comments here. I am not particularly computer savvy, and keep forgetting to ask my guests to comment. However, they all tell me the house is more lovely than the photos show. "Charming," "lovely," "great time," etc. are phrases I hear all the time. Since I've put great effort over the years into making the house charming and lovely, I am appreciative of these sentiments. Thank you. Barbara
