Spacious Dual-Level Retreat - A Unique Character Home Blending Classic Charm and Modern Comfort
**The lower level is accessed from an exterior door a few steps outside of the backdoor so it is not suitable for young children to sleep if parents are upstairs but ideal from any group that would appreciate the privacy of the lower level.
Embark on a one-of-a-kind living experience in our distinctive character home, perfect for large groups or families. Nestled in a serene neighborhood, our space uniquely combines expansive indoor and outdoor areas, with distinct upper and lower living spaces. Each level is infused with its own charm - the upper with its classic allure, and the lower with sleek modernity, ensuring a memorable stay filled with character and comfort.
The Upper Level:
