Below it, a handcrafted glass bookcase by local artist Sharon Rowland ties into the home’s historic character. Mechanical & Structural Improvements include three HVAC systems that serve the home. Two were replaced (2019 and June 2025) with top-of-the-line units. The home’s foundation has been replaced. Main level in 2003, first floor bedroom in 2012—providing long-term peace of mind. A commercial grade humidifier was installed but has never been needed. Full electrical lighting was installed in the crawl space, reflecting the meticulous care given to every detail.
