The entry foyer leads to the large living room, with its inviting aspect. The brick fronted fire place with wood mantel provides a great focal point.

The stencil motif, seen on the front entry is mirrored here as well. Imagine how relaxing this space can be! The porch provides access to the lush rear yard, patio and fire pit area. The porch is also accessed from the kitchen area, enjoy morning coffee, watching the birds but don't burn the toast!!
