Main Level
A welcoming foyer-style entrance leads into a spacious living room highlighted by a gas-burning fireplace (currently decorative, with plumbing in place for restoration).

The open layout flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, featuring large bay windows and a beamed ceiling, creating a perfect space for entertaining.
