Given that the home is built within the structure of a barn that’s well over 200 years old, the rustic charm is evident in the well-lit dining room.

The hand-hewn exposed wood beams are pure history, as are the original rustic wood floors.

For a less-formal dining option there’s this cozy breakfast area, with stone flooring and a stone-surrounded wood-burning fireplace.
