Grand hallway, light filled from all directions. JUST PAINTED in December, after wallpaper was properly removed and walls were repaired. What a difference paint makes!

The living room is enormous, running the entire depth of the house. JUST PAINTED in December, you won't believe your eyes!
Second sitting area in the living room; bay windows at each end.
This light filled room opens to a patio, which can also be accessed from the living room. JUST PAINTED in December - you'll love it!
