Live a piece of Brownsville's history. Walking distance to Main Street, The Moyer House and many of the "Stand By Me" filming locations. The space This house is small, but quite charming! It was built in 1865, the year the Civil War ended, so it comes with lots of history. The living room is adorned with photos of our family from the mid to late 19th Century, the early 20th Century as well as a great photo of the Averill family when they lived here, standing in front of the house...wood sidewalk included! The upstairs was originally built as an attic so the steps to the upstairs are steep and uneven (frankly, if you have bad knees, while not impossible, it could be very difficult to go upstairs). Because the house is old, it does have some old house quirks...like uneven floors, single pane (and in most cases, original wavy glass) windows and small rooms. The kitchen and bathrooms, however, are modern, and fully stocked. You'll find extra towels, if needed. The kitchen has plenty of cooking supplies; even for baking! Guest access The entire house, inside and out is available to enjoy! The shed and one closet are reserved for the owners but it does not impede your stay at all. Other things to note While this house has been renovated over the years, it still has some old house quirks like doors that don't close flush, rough hewn wood in the stairwell, old wavy glass in the windows and original flooring, some of which can be a little uneven...but all of which adds to the charm of this historic house. Please be aware that the steps to the upstairs loft and bedroom are steep and a little difficult to navigate. Heating is plentiful in the Winter. For the Summer, there is no AC but there are plenty of fans (two tower, one floor and four bedsides).
