The kitchen ceiling follows the vaulted lines of the home and has been updated with new cabinets, butcher block counters, stainless steel appliances, apron sink, and recessed lighting. The primary bath is so spacious and has been updated with two separate vanities, a free standing tub and walk in tiled shower.

The grand front foyer welcomes any guest with original wood doors & molding, and double french doors lead you to a second hall foyer that would make a beautiful home office. Each room has it's own details, some of which include original decorative fireplaces, wainscoting, bead board, or board & baton, deep window seats, original & new shiplap, and kitchen beams show off beautiful, natural cedar ceilings. The list really goes on. So much time and love was put into this home to restore it to it's original beauty as well as blending in some updates to today's world.

There is so much history here.
