The original structure, a fully outfitted suite dating to the 1850s, was built as a post office and general store, its post-and-beam bones intact and beautifully preserved. The new wing is a substantial modern home in its own right, designed to complement the historic suite while bringing light, space, and contemporary living to the forefront. Together, they create something genuinely uncommon.
