Built in 1895, this historic Victorian farmhouse was originally owned by the Caldwell family, who ran the local Meat Market in town. The current owner/co-host worked diligently with a local architect, builder, and the historic preservation committee to fully restore the facade of home from 2019-2021. This included designing and rebuilding an architecturally relevant open front porch with new flooring and new siding, restoring all original woodwork/shingles, and rebuilding a new chimney. The interior has many modern amenities while allowing the vintage charm of the house to shine. Beautiful woodwork is seen throughout including built-ins and hardwood flooring. All exterior doors in the home have been updated and replaced to make the home more energy efficient, with the exception of one original porch door featuring original glass window panes. A beautiful lobby/entryway greets guests and features custom brass hat/train racks and marble bench. There is a large living space with a beautiful gas fireplace. This area includes a designated sitting area for TV/games and a large dining table seating for entertaining. Guests will enjoy an updated eat-in kitchen with all new appliances and coffee bar. The parlor room includes a bar cart and antique cabinet stocked with a variety of bar glasses for custom cocktails. The second floor bathrooms have been updated with new hardware and included toiletries from local vendors. All bedrooms have been exquisitely decorated and included blackout curtains, new fandeliers and Smart TVs. Third- floor bedroom/attic space also has vaulted ceilings and brand new carpeting and is the perfect escape.
