Inside the vintage mansion

Dark-stained wooden boards line the steep stairs, and continue up the wall toward the high ceilings. Burgundy brick lays on the bottom half of the master bathroom’s walls, contrasting with the creamy white paint above it.
Light brick laid in a herringbone pattern brightens the sunroom, which leads to the whimsically landscaped backyard, complete with a pool.
