Welcome to Becwar House, a completely renovated and improved home that was built in 1905 and owned by our family since 1951. After purchasing the property from my family in July, 2020, I spent a full year renovating every room, bringing a refreshed look while maintaining the comfortable feel and character of an older family home.
The space
Improvements to the house included the removal of old space consuming radiators and the installation of a new state-of-the-art heating and cooling system, particularly designed for older homes. The new open floor plan on the first level is great for larger groups or families. You will also find many other modern conveniences of home:
• Fully stocked kitchen
• Free WiFI
• Washer/Dryer
• Comfortable beds
• Multiple spaces to gather in both large or small group settings
Guest access

Also, the grade school playground is on the same block
