The antique farm table in the dining room seats up to eight and is surrounded by vintage décor that tells a story of its own. The bathroom boasts a deep soaking tub and a handheld shower, as well as a stunning brass console sink. The original 1892 entry doors are painted a calming pink in contrast to the original black screen doors.
