Across from the kitchen is a sunny south-facing living room with herringbone floors and picture moldings. Off the living room through a French door you will find the bedroom wing. The sunny Master Bedroom is also south-facing and features two roomy closets. Down the hall is the second bedroom which is even larger than the master and has open northern exposure.
