The housing mix includes Cape Dutch farmhouses, Victorian homes along Main Street, wine farm cellars and tasting rooms, and newer estates on slabs. Many of the older houses have yellowwood or pine floors that suit careful sanding. Restorers and fitters here often work on heritage and hospitality jobs, so sensitive finishes and experienced hands count.
