Floor-to-ceiling windows seamlessly connect the interior with the natural surroundings. The main level features an open layout, showcasing the original limestone fireplace, pegged hardwood floors, natural stone flooring, and a cantilevered staircase leading to a bedroom loft. The bedroom offers views of towering evergreens through limestone-clad walls and windows. A second bedroom, currently used as a study, offers glimpses of hawks and eagles, while the hallway and third bedroom, with clerestory windows, frame picturesque views of nature.
