The best parts of this 1800s home were saved and the rest was reinvented. An underused space was converted to an area suitable for pets and kids equipped with a dog shower that doubles as a boot wash off. An addition was added, complete with a fanciful cupola and a kitchen with ribbons of windows overlooking sugar maples and a sugar shack processed by the owner. An old screen room was restored as a gracious front entry rocker porch and a new screen porch was added out back. The two story addition allowed the principal bedroom to expand for a new bath. The interior floor plan was reinvented with a built-in library, a proper sized dining room, and all the amenities a young family would need or want.
