Updated Andersen windows complement select original windows with historic glass, whose subtle, wavy texture catches light reflected off the water.

A screened wraparound porch invites you to relax over morning coffee, while the second floor deck overlooks the lake and a side deck faces the gardens. Tucked away sitting areas provide places to read, gather or simply enjoy the surroundings.

A 2025 roof, updated windows, a relined chimney and ongoing care complement the home's enduring charm.
