The first record of this home was in 1890. We have done definitely everything we can to preserve and highlight all of the historic appeal, while simultaneously updating with fun modern amenities. This decor of this home reflects that, with an eclectic mix of Victorian, mid century, and modern aesthetics.

This home is really charming. We were told when purchasing the home that at least 5 previous owners/tenants got married from living and meeting in the home.

In your space you will find two bedrooms, each outfitted with comfortable queen beds and spaces to work. Each bedroom also features a fireplace complete with the original mantles, refreshed light fixtures with remotes, and the original heart pine floors.

The kitchen and living rooms are separate, but do have an open floor plan, with plenty of room to stretch out. They feature the original heart pine beams and brick fireplace. The living room has a 55 inch intelligent TV with access to Apple TV. The kitchen has brand new appliances including a dishwasher, as well as butcherblock counters surrounding the stainless steel farmhouse sink.

The cavernous bathroom was converted from porch space, so it still has the original bead board walls and ceiling and patina’d door. The vintage features are juxtaposed with a beautiful walk in shower complete with a rain showerhead and wand, double vanity with granite counters, brand new washer and dryer, and ample storage.

The original stairwell features bead board panels and vintage wallpaper.
You will have private access to both the lower and upper porch, with dining space as well as a swinging day bed. The upstairs porch also features the original cast iron tub that we converted into a handsome garden accent.

All of the art, decor, and furnishings in the home were sourced locally. If you are curious if a piece is for sale, just ask!

Much of what you find in this home is one-of-a-kind, so please keep that in mind during your stay!
