You will also find a washer and dryer on the third floor for your convenience. This property is best suited for adults and children 12 and over. Given the challenges sometimes presented by "old homes," during extreme hot weather, the bedroom with two twin beds may not be as comfortable as the rest of the home as is it not supplied with central air. We wanted to be up front and disclose that in this listing. Also, there is another safety feature of a portable chain ladder that can be extended from an upper floor window. Guest access The entire home is for you to enjoy. Other things to note As an old home with historic details, you may find in extreme weather conditions that the temperature in the house will vary from room to room and level to level. There are no storm windows or storm doors. We have done our best to provide comfort while preserving the historic nature of the house. That being said, it is not a house that you walk around with short sleeves in the winter! During extreme heat, there is no central air in the bedroom with twin beds above kitchen. There are extra fans to accomodate.
