In turn, the lintels rest atop two sets of three colonettes and brick piers with unique connecting keywork. Cottage windows with divided lights over single panes of glass suffuse the interior with warm, glowing, cheerful light. Frech doors diffuse ambient lighting throughout the house. Rooms are arranged on either side of a central hall. Three bedrooms flank one side of the hall and the living room, dining room, and kitchen the other side. Rooms feature hardwood floors and tall baseboards with decorative moldings, All door and window frames have wide casings and raised moldings. Ornate cornices accentuate the living room and dining rooms ceilings. The kitchen gleams with stainless appliances and quartz countertops. Updated cabinets provide ample storage.
