The space The property was built in 1925 and features original oak wood floors throughout, along with architectural period features such as ceiling moldings, woodwork, hardware, and fireplaces typical of New England Colonial architecture. The interior design is eclectic, blending different styles from antique to contemporary. The house is comfortable and cozy. The collection of period furniture includes a Venetian mirror, Jewish Moroccan armoire, and a 19th-century English Edwardian decoupage screen, along with a wooden table to seat 10 on bentwood chairs from the famous Thomas furniture designer in the formal dining room. In the kitchen, you will enjoy Pennsylvania painted plank bottom chairs and a solid cedar antique table. The formal living room is comfy with a large sofa, six living room armchairs, and a bench in front of the fireplace. It is decorated with a cozy Beni Ourain Moroccan rug and a set of antique modernist driftwood coffee and side tables with glass tops. The artwork is a fusion of contemporary and period, including highlights such as an antique still life hunting scene from Spain, an 18th-century French portrait, Picasso and Matisse lithographs, two pieces of wall art, and a table sculpture original all from the Kinetic art movement. The living room bookshelf is complemented by a pair of original wall art pieces from the Brutalist period, and finally, an oil painting by Trompiz hangs in the bookshelf. There is a swinging door into the country kitchen. The kitchen seats six, but if needed, you can add a bench to the other side of the table to accommodate 10. The kitchen is fully equipped.
