| The entire home has been restored. Aluminum siding was replaced with historically correct German lap siding; while doing so, insulation was added to the exterior walls. The vast majority of the plumbing and wiring has been replaced including new bath fixtures, new hot water heater and two new pressure tanks were installed in the pump house. The furnace and air conditioning are new. Windows were replaced with energy efficient windows. The heat, hot water and cooking are gas.
The grounds include beautiful gardens, a charming garden shed, equipped with plumbing and electricity, an office/studio, and a four stall barn opening out to 4 beautiful paddocks which have automatic, heated waterers. The wide grassy aisles between the paddocks add to the gracious feel.
