It has spacious rooms and impressive woodwork — Colleen believes it is original to the home. The living room is dominated by a massive English biscuit bin the couple uses for storage. Colleen loves the neighborhood, with the dogwoods blooming in the springtime. “I have a stained-glass piece from a friend. It fit. So I knew it was the right house,” she says. “There’s something I love about each room.” She especially loves the studio and the bedroom. Her least favorite room is the kitchen, and it may get an upgrade at a later date. Colleen and Larry spend most of their time in the TV room and library. Colleen enjoys woodworking and built the bookcases in the library. The home has a large entryway, also filled with antiques. The dining room is graced by a pre-Civil War table. The couple and their antiques are right at home.
