While the setting and design are rooted in history, the infrastructure has been brought fully up to modern standards. Recent upgrades include a 400-amp electrical service, dual-fuel propane and electric furnace, a 22kw Generac whole-home generator, a whole-house water filtration system, and an under-sink reverse osmosis system.
