A fan blows gently, room for family and friends and just hanging out after a long day.  Saunter inside and the original 1927 hardwood floors gleam. Windows everywhere, and all of them have been replaced!  The brickwork on the wood burning fireplace is distinctive, hang your art above or  your flat screen, the perfect chill spot.
