What makes this property unique
Our home was built in 1872 and although recently renovated, we've worked really hard to preserve its history. From the original fireplace mantle, to the window and door casings and all of the interior doors, the home embraces its past while offering the comforts of today. One of our favorite features is our yard. We offer so many different ways to enjoy the outdoors. Whether you're dining at our antique farmtable, relaxing around the firepit, catching some rays on the lounge set, or playing badminton on the grass, there are endless outdoor possibilities. We also have a brand new indoor/outdoor rec room and a home gym attached to the garage. Every space, indoor and out, has been carefully curated not only in design but in function to guarantee the best possible vacation experience!
