A first floor entertainment center or primary bedroom suite with deck was added in 2007. There are 4 bedrooms on the second floor, each boasting a working fireplace and ensuite, updated baths for a blend of comfort and classic charm. A top floor 2 bedroom apartment includes a private entrance and provides excellent income potential. Most of the furnishings are available to the prospective Buyer.
