Pros

The renovations tastefully blend original architectural features with modern conveniences and additions, like the marble-lined primary bathroom, upper- and lower-level laundry appliances and the light-filled sunroom. The guest cottage can be rented.

Cons

Scaling the narrow staircase to the lower level of the main house and the circular staircase in the guest cottage may deter some buyers.
