The grand high ceilinged living room with wood burning fireplace demands relaxation and good company. The character in this home is unsurpassed. Possibilities of this property are endless. While the front of the house has three newly remodeled guest rooms used for Inn guests, all with private baths, there is space to expand on the third floor. Open rooms throughout to make a more everyday-lifestyle living or continue as an Inn. Even the separate Carriage house induces dreams of enhancement and life. The antiquity of this building is iconic and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
