the second floor has a separate entrance with a private deck offering lovely views overlooking the spring-fed waterfall and brook. with a blend of old-world charm and modern amenities, the recently renovated kitchen has a built-in eating area, closet space and impressive living area with plenty of sunlight. the curved stairs lead you to the ensuite bedroom which features a vintage-modernized full bath and soaking tub.
