The most impressive feature of Jim and Carol Metzenthin’s home is the exposed brick sitting room as you enter through the front door. Jim and Carol have creatively combined contemporary styling with family antiques to give this room a unique charm.
Equally impressive is the beautiful beveled and beaded woodwork throughout the house. All woodwork was stripped by the Metzenthins by hand with commercial stripper. The wood is believed to be birch.
The kitchen was updated by a previous owner. All interior painting and wallpapering were done by Jim and Carol.
Although none of the original art glass remains, future plans include art glass in the front door and on the landing.
The backyard has a large sandpit and wooden climbing apparatus, both built by Carol. She has also converted part of the basement into a playroom for the children.
As you tour this home notice the many works of art made by Carol, especially the pottery and wall hangings.
