This two story home has been updated with modern conveniences but affords the tranquil atmosphere of simpler times. When you enter the picket-fenced gardens through the gate house, you will immediately feel at home. A seasonal succession of vegetation surround the house, and wildlife wander in to taste the bounty. Downstairs you will find a fully equipped kitchen (microwave, refrigerator, electric stove, dishwasher, small appliances, etc. ), full sized bathroom with tub/shower combination, dining room, library, living room, bedroom with queen sized bed, entry, and laundry room. The three large bedrooms upstairs each have a sitting area and closets. Each bedroom is uniquely decorated and named after a member of the Pearce family who lived in the home from 1895 to 1996. The upstairs bathroom has two sinks and a beautifully tiled large shower. American made braided rugs and homemade window dressings were placed in every room to add to the historic atmosphere. A ductless heating/cooling system allow comfort control in each room. In the library, you will find a large assortment of games (cribbage, Mexican train dominoes, rummy, etc.) and jigsaw puzzles, books, cd/phonograph/radio (with old time radio cds), and TV. A gas BBQ is available on the front porch. The porch is tiled and furnished with chairs to comfortably sit and enjoy the breeze off Deer Creek on a hot summer day. Although there are many great things to do in Douglas County, this place is a great place to just hang out and relax.
