The dining room seats 8-12. The kitchen is open to the breakfast nook, which has an additional indoor fireplace and banquette seating. The library has lots of books, and pocket doors that close to make it a dedicated, quiet office space.

There is also a large mud room, directly accessible from the kitchen & outside, perfect for all your ski or summer gear and with a brand new washer/dryer.

There is also a large walk-in closet that's been converted to a flex space to be used as an office or baby room with a crib.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
The house is in a rural country area - there is limited cell reception, and the area can be prone to power outages. Many areas of the home were recently updated, and renovations were completed in 2023. However, this home still has many of the original historic elements that may make it unsuitable for some guests. Examples- the staircases are steep, 2 of the bedrooms upstairs and the powder room have sloped / low ceilings, slate patio on the back deck is not fenced, and would not be suitable for unsupervised toddlers. Please read the house rules and note the descriptions in the photo captions, and reach out with any questions or concerns you might have, prior to booking.
