The Space
Enter through the back of the house into a quaint enclosed screened in porch There is ample space for coats and shoes and it's also a great place to relax or read a book on a rainy day.
The kitchen and dining area are at the back of the house. A large, picturesque farm sink overlooks the fields. Spacious countertop and an island for food preparation make it easy for groups preparing meals together. A custom made dining table brings the space together. Cozy for a farm style breakfast or an evening of after dinner games.
The intimate living room has a sliding door that leads to a side porch. With a wood burning stove, record player and comfortable seating, it's the until place to kick back after a long day exploring the outdoors.
A bedroom on the first floor features a queen bed and en suite with shower. Vintage wallpaper discovered during the renovation provides a gorgeous backdrop to the bed.
On the second floor there are two bedrooms, each with a queen bed. Sloped cathedral ceilings and a skylight in each rooms make the even more spacious. See the stars at night, right from the bed, or gently wake up to the morning light streaming in. Light sleepers - bring a sleep mask!
A charming bathroom upstairs has a tub/shower combo. In the summer luxuriate in the bath before going to bed with a bouquet of field flowers next to the tub. Winter time add some locally sourced bathing salts from a nearby market and soothe your muscles after a day of playing in the snow.
