Inside, you'll find a space full of character and comfort. Thoughtful details such as exposed brick, antique heart pine floors, barn doors, and a farm sink lend a rustic charm, while calming blue and gray tones in the bedroom create a tranquil retreat. Unique touches like apple crate drawers and shelving made from reclaimed materials add to the apartment's timeless appeal.
The Belmont Farmhouse also offers outdoor spaces for relaxation, including yards on either side of the house for picnics or yoga, as well as a front porch swing and cafe table set for your morning coffee.
