Most of the major renovations were completed by the previous owner, Ms. Day said, but she added this screened porch to the home around the summer of 2010. She wanted the extra dining space to accommodate guests, she said. ‘It’s just magical,’ she said of the porch area. Overlooking the herb garden that she keeps, ‘it feels like you’re outside when you’re inside.’ Photo: Karen Kaleta

The home’s previous owners updated the bathrooms and kitchen, Ms. Day said, but the original flooring and a stone fireplace are still intact. Ms. Day originally purchased it as a vacation home for her children and grandchildren, but as they’ve grown older, she’s used the property primarily to entertain friends and family.Photo: Karen Kaleta
