An updated kitchen balances beauty and function with a snack bar, breakfast nook, granite countertops, Ann Sacks designer tile, and a wall of cherry cabinetry with a built-in desk. Throughout, designer wallpaper by Bradbury & Bradbury, Schumacher, Thibaut, Sanderson, and Osborne & Little nods to the home’s historic character. Outside, a screened-in side porch and a front porch overlook the landscaped yard, with a two-car, two-story carriage house completing the setting.
