Updates include mini-split heating and cooling system, with remote control for each unit. Newly refinished hardwood floors throughout in 2025. Please note, the house has some quirks, like a slight slope in the kitchen floor and an air vent in the ceiling between the dining room and loft. Parents with infants/toddlers are advised to be cautious; please supervise children at all times. The house has no closets other than one small space in the upstairs bedroom/loft. Guests should feel free to unpack luggage and store clothing in the bedroom dressers. The kitchen floor can be chilly during frigid weather; a basket of house slippers/socks is near the front door. Guests are welcome to wear these in the house, over personal socks, and leave with the used linens/towels prior to check-out.
