From the layout of the rooms to take advantage of the southern exposure, to the rationals for the placement of each room, nothing was done carelessly. And the choice of materials and style of construction resulted in a home that was built to last! The cliche that, "They don't make them like they used to" is really appropriate in this case.

Now when we first saw this home in 1984, we were attracted to its character, charm and history, but it needed some love. Love meaning new paint inside and out, 52 new windows, a new roof, new heat and AC, new electric, refinished floors, and on and on... So over the 30+ that we have lived her and raised our children, we have gradually restored and improved. Because of its history, we have tried to be true to its original design. We discovered the original paint colors on the exterior and chose to go back to the original. The only real structural change we have made, was to convert the back porch into a sunroom, which has become our favorite room in the house. We have planted the yard with favorite trees and perennials and installed a water garden with a waterfall and lily pads. The backyard has a park-like feel and is surrounded by a cedar privacy fence. Our hope is that someone will love this home like we have and make their own family history here.
