A historic post office turned couples getaway
Vacant for years, the 1800 House was a historic shell waiting for purpose. We renovated it top to bottom—rebuilding the layout, adding modern systems, and installing a chef’s kitchen and spa-like bath—then furnished it with antiques and thoughtfully layered details to create a boutique Finger Lakes retreat.
