Pros
The bed-and-breakfast business is included in the sale, but the house could be used as a private residence. A quaint downtown area is within walking distance. The separate one-bedroom cottage is charming.
Cons
Many of the walls are covered with busy wallpaper. There is no central air-conditioning on the upper floors.
