Private Entertaining Life
The kitchen is the heart of the home. With a major remodel performed from its original layout, it has been modernized to today’s impressive standards. Directly connected to the kitchen is the formal, as well as the informal, dining. After dinner conversations seem to transition out to the iconic front porch and the stately living room with ease. As temperatures chill, the family room’s Tulikivi soapstone fireplace radiates warmth throughout. Guests are drawn to the poolside activities and yard games when the sun is high above and the perennials are in bloom. The lush landscaping, with an array of herbs, shrubs and trees, feels like a secret garden.
From morning sunshine to stargazing, the owner’s suite on the upper level is perfect. The serenity of the south facing, sitting room must be experienced. Completing the upper level are two generous size bedrooms with the updated three-quarter bath. The ample of storage space in this home is uncommon for homes built in the late 1800s.
