Given the dark wood, small size, and the fact it's an investment property which I assume you would like to most appeal to the public as a rental, I would suggest a light warm neutral vs. a bold pop of color.

Thank you! It's a historic district and town inspectors want a grand enticing entrance, so rich elegant look vs neutral is what we would like to achieve.

What a beautiful entry. I agree- warm neutral. We have SW Eaglet Beige in a couple of rooms, and I love that it is clean without feeling bare. Might be a good place to start. I wonder what is historically accurate?

I'd go light also, but if your inspectors want "wow" then perhaps the historical district society or governing body will have period-appropriate color ideas for you.
