A recent renovation (completed in November 2022), led by designer Caroline Gidiere of Birmingham, includes blue-and-white tile flooring, stylish light fixtures throughout, fresh interior paint, and new living, dining, and kitchen furnishings that complement the home's relaxed yet refined aesthetic.
