This can be done using Ethernet-over-IP (EoIP). But extending a layer 2 domain like this isn't a good idea.

Re: LAN to LAN VPN (Layer 3)
It is very advisable to use a separate subnets at the two locations in order to avoid broadcast traffic over the VPN tunnel. As long as you have routes between the subnets on both ends, you will be able to reach all devices and printers at either location. You can either set up the VPN between your routers according to the types of VPN, or set up a VPN server behind the router at your main location, and then connect to it from remote location.
