The interior has been updated to today's luxury standards and creature comforts, painstakingly coordinating with the unique design of that era. You will appreciate the beauty of five original fireplaces, the 6 spacious bedrooms, 6 vintage baths and 2 half baths. An impressive double door entry opens to a foyer with a grand, double staircase. You'll travel back in time, enveloped in beautifully detailed crown molding, wainscoting, carved fireplaces and the grandeur that is Rowallan. Among the many unique features of this coveted historic estate, which is on the National Historic Registry, are the preserved wall murals by the famed artist, Jay Postle, and the original heart pine wood floors in the parlor, library, formal dining room, and downstairs bedroom.
