A cozy dining nook with built-in banquette flows seamlessly into the airy living room, where shiplap walls, a gas fireplace, and abundant natural light set a warm inviting tone. French doors open onto an expansive covered front porch with an oversized swing, the perfect place to savor lazy afternoons.
