It was moved to its current location across from Crews Lake in 1947, when it was converted into an “English Style” home, according to newspapers at the time. The 4 bedroom, 3699 square foot main home has since been lovingly maintained and updated, while preserving many charming features, inside and out. The main house will simply take your breath away as you approach from the long driveway. Quintessential details such as the mailbox, doorbell, front porch and even a flying pig weathervane atop the roof bring the past to life, while the metal roof and hardi board siding ensure longevity for years to come. As you enter the home, the stained glass adorning the meticulously restored windows serve as a nod to its former life.
