House Notes
• Heating & Cooling: The home has a brand new forced air furnace and a brand new central A/C system. Please note, though, that one of the quirks of this 1897 home is that a good portion of the second floor is gravity-fed from the first-floor through the open-air / pass-through vents on the floor. Feel free to adjust the temperature until you're comfortable. We also have plenty of extra blankets for the winter and ceiling fans as well as pedestal fans in the closets for the summer. We always find it easy to get comfy, and we hope you do too!
• Windows: Another quirk of our lovely old farmhouse is the windows. Most are quite old, and they get cranky when opened and sometimes do not like to fully close. As such, we appreciate it if you can refrain from opening the windows. Even in the thick of summer, the house generally stays cool. As described above, with central A/C, a new furnace, ceiling fans, pedestal fans, and extra blankets available, you should be able to stay plenty comfortable without opening the windows.
