Inside, guests are welcomed into a space filled with character, warmth, and a distinct sense of place.

This is where families gather for games, conversations stretch long into the evening. The sunroom, fully enclosed and bathed in soft light throughout the day, is the perfect spot to curl up with a book or sip afternoon tea while gentle breezes filter through the windows.
The home’s dining room sits ready for family dinners, while a separate movie den offers a more casual space for movie nights or simply unwinding after a long day of exploration. The kitchen blends functionality and cottage-style charm, fully equipped with modern appliances, a coffee maker, and all the essentials needed to prepare anything from simple breakfasts to gourmet dinners.
