Carter House has gone modern yet with no sacrifice of its original charm. The wrap-around front and side porch remains bright and inviting. The beautifully patterned hardwood floors have just been refinished. The large Audubon prints in den and dining room add a fine touch. The kitchen with its two skylights is new but the antique hoosier cabinet, the stained-glass light fixture, and the shelving done from a chicken coop take one back to another time. Separated by French doors the den, dining room, and living room flow easily into one another and add to the overall sense of spaciousness. There are four second-floor bedrooms (three double, one single) and stairs from the upstairs hall lead to an attractive studio apartment with its own kitchen, bath, and high deck.
