The living room invites relaxing evenings or fun gatherings, with built-ins, picture railing, and a beautiful bay window and banquette.

Rich in character, the high ceilings and oversized moldings evoke a sense of grace, punctuated by period details such as picture rails and original stained glass accent windows filtering in gentle light.
