Chestnut plank floors feature in the original cream brick farmhouse. The house includes a front porch and two screen porches off either side of the kitchen. An addition was built in 2009, in the style of a limestone barn, and includes a basement wine cellar.

The Cedarburg farmhouse has a spiral staircase and a tunnel

Connected by an underground tunnel is the black walnut barn, built in 2014. The barn's timber frame is supported by whole trees in their original form. The floors are granite cobblestone reclaimed from a Milwaukee street.

Inside the connecting tunnel, residents can climb a spiral staircase built out of a cherry tree. The house's previous owner was a woodworker.

Another timber-frame barn, built in 2009, features oak siding and a pine interior.

A stone outbuilding, built in 1858, stands beside a fountain and a frog pond. It was originally built as a smokehouse, and it still functions today.

The property is a block from Cedarburg's downtown.
