The master suite entry is a statement in itself, graced with a pair of massive Victorian era oak doors (circa 1890-1900). Inside the master bedroom, youll see a second set of Victorian era doors barn door mounted that opens to a small flex room that could be an office, a nursery, or a reading space.

The downstairs TV may be placed either above the fireplace, or in the large cabinet to the right so that artwork can occupy the fireplace. The backyard is a great size for a downtown property.
