The formal dining room echoes the home's classic charm with beautiful hardwood floors, intricate moldings and a plate rail for added character. The kitchen is a showstopper with a replica cookstove, copper-like backsplash, stained glass window, tin ceiling and an original built-in hutch for extra storage.
