There’s a welcoming fireplace nestled below a grand staircase. Soft breezes blow across the large rooms, including a dining table set for 18 and a breakfast room in the lower part of a rounded tower. The furnishings are period but not fussy. And everywhere one looks the 130 year old wainscoting is subtly painted with flowers and soft mountain vistas.
