Colonial farmhouses had neither bathrooms nor attached kitchens, the rooms most desired in modern homes.
At Hidden Mill, which had had several renovations, it was not a question of the number of bathrooms but where they were located that created the biggest concern.
Four bathrooms existed but just one on the second floor where four family members had sleeping quarters.
Creating a master bedroom with its own bath was a priority. By dividing the fourth bedroom on the second floor, two bathrooms were created.
Renovating the kitchen became a more dramatic endeavor. The old kitchen with its “chicken coop” roof was ripped off.
A new gourmet kitchen resting on a new foundation and cellar developed over the course of a winter season.
These amenities plus the addition of French doors swinging outward added to the pleasure of living in this house.
