The main level features three bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary bedroom with a private office. The light-filled kitchen is surrounded by windows and features an antique farmhouse sink. A large laundry room offers even more old-fashioned functionality with an additional kitchen area and sink--perfect for canning and preserving the bounty from your own garden.
