Vintage character abounds with natural brick and barn wood accents, hardwood floors, and a crisp, neutral palette throughout. Formal living and dining rooms plus bright and light kitchen and adjoining family room. Primary bedroom suite preceded by a large office, second bedroom suite, plus two bedrooms, one with direct access to the hall bath.
