To meet the demands of the homeowners and their family, this Queen Anne Victorian needed to be updated inside and out. A spacious and bright kitchen with a dramatic octagonal eating area, is now the heart of the home. Historically accurate details throughout, including a dramatic gold-veined fireplace surround and fireside inglenook seating, add architectural interest and underscore the home's original design. A new exterior porch mimics the existing front porch and serve to connect the house to a now functional and beautiful back yard.
