Victorian Suite

Once the master bedroom of the house, this room is our
most romantic with a queen sized canopy bed draped in white
lace, an elegantly carved armoire, rotating library cabinet,
and high backed dresser. A floral wallpaper graces the walls
and oriental rugs cover the floors. The large bathroom and
glassed in sitting area has the original soaking tub and a
large 4-legged sink. |

A striking full-sized antique brass bed sits at an angle
to complement the corner decorative tiled fireplace. Set in
front of the fireplace is a comfortable reading chair. An old
RCA Victrola, oak armoire and dresser complete this room.
There is a sink in the room, the bathroom is down the hall,
shared with the South Room.
Garden
Room
Aptly named as this room overlooks the side yard gardens.

Country Willow
Room
This room is home to a collection of country Victorian
antiques that you might find in grandma's attic. There is a
grand four poster queen sized bed, an oak armoire and dresser,
an ornate rocker, lots of quilts and everyone's favorite--an
upholstered chaise lounge. The attached bathroom with shower
is tiled in white marble. |
South Room
(pictured left)
Two twin antique brass beds sit on both sides of a
magnificent mirrored fruitwood armoire. A Civil War era sofa,
Eastlake style tall mirrored dresser, barrister cabinet, drop
leaf table with chair, and lots of windows make this room a
treasure chest of antiques. This room shares the adjacent hall
bathroom with the East Room.
Christmas Room
This spacious room has a hutch and other shelves brimming
full with toys and old Christmas cheer. Two over-stuffed
chairs sit in front of an electrified Ben Franklin style
stove. A mahogany armoire and dresser, a queen-sized four
poster bed and antique occasional furniture complete the room.

Egan Room
(pictured right)
This room is named for the family who first owned the
house back in 1889. It is wallpapered in a classic blue and
white toile print and furnished with a wrought iron full-sized
bed, pine armoire, dresser and comfortable chair. There is a
sink en chambre. A private bath includes a clawfoot tub with
shower, located adjacent to the room in the hall.
Library
Along with lots of books, this room has an upholstered
sofa and platform rocker. The oldest piece of furniture in the
house--a New England blanket chest dating to the early 1800's
and a full-sized brass bed makes this room cozy and
comforting. An attached bathroom with shower is tiled in white
marble. |
