Enter under a covered front door to the front hall with storage closet & immediately make yourself at home in a mix of private & open spaces. A large living/dining room is directly to your right, with rich wood floors, wall detailing, natural light, & a wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining space provides plenty of room to spread out.
