Rambling as farmhouses do, it retains original charm with a comfortable layout enhanced with mechanical/structural updates by housewright Skip Broom. The kitchen, living room and dining room have expansive windows/doors drawing you outdoors. Two first-floor bedrooms combine creating a master suite. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms. There is a first-floor laundry, workshop and two car garage. The 2cnd floor office and artist studio accessed from the workshop staircase are not included in the SF.
