While this is a large historic estate, it’s not dripping gold and marble like the Newport cottages.
.
.
It’s a livable home.
.
.
With very busy wallpaper.
.
.
Some of the lady of the house’s vintage dresses were on display.
.
.
.
And you can always tell the difference between a man’s bedroom and a woman’s.
.
.
The bathrooms seemed relative modern.
.
.
The master suite had two beds.
.
.
And a nautically themed mural covering the walls.
.
.
This is one of the few rooms that retained its original furnishings.
.
.
And while it’s not my taste…
.
.
The intricacy of the inlay was impressive.
.
.
And it was all in beautiful shape.
.
.
To the rear side of the master, a child’s playroom.
.
.
Complete with sailboats and hammocks.
.
.
Tour finished, we walked back to our car past the carriage house’s row of allium.

This home is classy, like you said, no marble or gold anything. This is more my cup of vodka 😉

“livable home” – that’s a good one. I know what you mean, but I could probably fit my house into one of the bigger rooms. (Okay, unless the ceilings are high, I might need two of the rooms, since my house is 1 ½ stories.)

I grew up in some pretty large homes and always long for more space. Our current home is twice the size of our first and we filled it easily.

Sailboats and hammocks? I’d be perfectly content in the child’s bedroom!
