The Carriage House was built in the late 1800s or early 1900s. When purchased in 2000 the only access to the second floor was a ladder in in the center of main room. The second floor has now been converted into the main bedroom (Bedroom 1). It has been decorated with custom woodwork throughout including custom bookcases that are built around a gas fireplace. With the touch of the remote the fireplace can quickly add to the ambiance for a romantic getaway. Sometime during the 1900s a covered carport was added to the original structure. In 2003 the carport was removed and a room addition was added. This added room serves as the second bedroom. It has a privacy door that separates it from the original structure. Custom garage doors were manufactured to match the appearance of the two doors installed on the original structure. Custom woodwork has been installed throughout The Carriage House.
