Looks like they put a lot of thought & money into the interior restoration as well. The only thing I'm not too fond of is that teeny tiny klitchen...and as a rule I usuall don't mind small kitchens. They say in their blog that this kitchen is original, but I have a hard time believing that a house of this era, which was obviously big enough to accomodate multiple servants. would have had a kitchen smaller than its butler's pantry. I'm thinking maybe the area where the kitchen is now was originally just a part of a larger kitchen. Sometimes in Victorian houses they did make a separate cooking area, where a big range stood, as well as a scullery area and so on. Still, the diminutive size of this kitchen probably wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. Being located in Attleboro is my REAL problem with this house. The people up there all talk funny...and they're BoSox fans too! Yeah,the exterior paint sheme is just about perfect.

Those people sure did a lot of work just in the painting. If walls could talk. Wow that exterior is a work of art. Those people sure did a lot of work just in the painting. If walls could talk.
