The foyer holds a grand fireplace. The fireplace insert, patented in 1899, is original. When the home was built, it had the traditional Victorian layout with a front and back parlor. Now these rooms have been combined into one spacious living room, with French doors leading to a patio in back. The original stained glass still winks in the sunshine. Over the sofa is a painting purchased by the owners father during a trip to Florence Italy. He bought it for $100 directly from the priest taking care of the church. Other beautiful antique pieces can be found throughout the house. The Bavarian cupboard in the dining room is dated 1815.  An Eastlake cabinet beckons as you climb the stairs to the second floor, where a master bedroom and bath were created from two bedrooms. A door leads to the balcony. The third floor attic, with its exuberant murals, is a children's paradise.
