Immerse yourself in the library of several thousand volumes, ranging from travel guides to best-selling novels. Wander over to the shop where John''s home-built aircraft is close to completion. Take a nap in a lawn chair under the walnut tree. Or prospect in the organic gardens for a day''s fix of roses or sugar snap peas. The whole place is yours to enjoy. The parlor is a bright open room with honey-colored beadboard paneling and a plush purple sofa. The cushy linen couch opposite is an invitation to sink in and soak up the sunlight in the late afternoon. If you''re so inclined, take advantage of the public computer on the desk in the corner to check your email or reconnect with the web. The downstairs hallway is an Arts and Crafts moment rendered with historic wallpaper and vintage lighting. The hallway leads to a small, pleasant space with a boatload of games, from cards and scrabble to elaborate strategy board games. The round walnut table here is a convivial spot to pursue them.
