Exterior: Western facing front porch overlooking lupine field and Hatch
Cove. This porch was most likely added in the early 1900s.
Dining Room: The fireplace in the dining room backs up to
the living room fireplace and draws well. The walls are the original
plaster and the windows have some diamond pen etchings.
Living Room: This is the original fireplace and has a
kettle suspended from the old crane. The beehive oven door is there but
the oven itself was removed at some point to make a closet. Printing
over the fireplace is a quote from Kahlil Gibran "Your house shall be
not an anchor but a mast."
Kitchen: This lovely kitchen has a high wood ceiling
with exposed beams. The cherry and painted kitchen cabinets are new. The
appliances are also new: Bosch range and dishwasher; Jenn-Air french
door refrigerator. The counter top and sink are granite. It is easy
kitchen to work in with lots of counter and cupboard space. There is a
wonderful view of the cove from the window in the breakfast nook. The
heat is in the painted/stained floor with back-up heat under the benches
by the table.
Library: A wonderfully cozy room with Indian shutters,
lots of built-in shelves and bookcases and a water view. The new hot
water heating system uses this flue so the fireplace is not working but
with a new flue could be made functional.
Sunroom: Bright and sunny, this room has been used for a
TV room, game room and gathering place. This fireplace backs up to the
one in the library.
Second Floor: Master Bedroom with private bath plus two guest
rooms with shared bath. The master bedroom is south facing with water
views. The painted floors are the original wide boards. Doors and
hardware are also original.
Basement: Half of the basement is finished with exposed
floor joists, sunny windows and an exterior door. The two rooms make it
perfect for a playroom and office or guest room. There is easy access to
the half bath on the main floor and with the closing of a door can make
for a very private guest space. The floor is painted cement. The other
half of the basement has storage, utilities and laundry area.
Half Bath
Front Stairs: When in doubt as to whether one should carpet
stairs or paint them, the only answer seems to be to paint them to look
like carpet!
