Parlour Level: Up the original staircase you reach the main entertaining level. Original cherry window frames, shutters, and hardwood floors brighten the front parlour.

Box ceilings, lustrous paneling, and stained glass accents give the rear dining room a polished look. The nearby kitchen is done in granite and has a side window. Appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator and Viking six-burner range.
