Narrow hallways?  Broken floor plan?  If you connected any of these with a bungalow style home, it's time to rethink this charmer!  The Larimore by David Weekly, located in Highland Park breaks all the typical bungalow stereotypes.   Open floor plan, spacious bedrooms, tons of natural light, and did I mention an office with beams?   Buyers want character and this house has it!  Copper and orange accents give this model home a very modern feel and the beams bring a touch of timeless yet historical architecture without dating the interior.   The backsplash in the kitchen adds another layer of historical yet modern touch...but what do you think about the vertical placement, like it or leave
