The front four rooms and grand entry hall display exquisite, unpainted heart pine in excellent condition, complemented by white oak hewn sills that speak to the home's enduring strength and authenticity. A three-sided covered wraparound porch invites you to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
