This is the perfect place for casual gatherings. To see where you could entertain gallant parties and bustling holiday dinners, head toward the formal dining room and formal living room. This uninterrupted space is a throwback to the Gilded Age where five-course meals and standing room parties were the norm.

The colonial homes adorable country kitchen is great for foodies who love to cook at home; it also features breakfast-nook-style seating for casual meals.
