The first floor features a large open living/dining room with stone archways, a massive  fireplace, and original exposed wood beam ceilings and stone floors. Furnishings include two L-shaped sofas around a large millstone that serves as an impressive coffee table. A long wooden dining table seats up to fourteen guests. A separate den functions as an office complete with DSL line.

The kitchen, large enough for several cooks and a table seating six, has a terracotta tile floor, wood beamed ceiling, tile counters, gas and electric cook tops, refrigerator/freezer, two ovens, and a dishwasher. A separate laundry room just off the kitchen has a large capacity washer and dryer.
