In 1948, new owners restored and modernized the home and added the west wing which included a spacious kitchen on the main level plus additional bedrooms and baths upstairs and a 2-bay garage in the basement
The spacious back porch was converted to a 4-season sun room that offers fabulous panoramic views of the farm and backyard
