Description

This unique home was originally built on a narrow lot that was surrounded by trees. The facade of the house steps back, giving the sense that it's a smaller house than it really is. The cedar shingled exterior blends in well with the trees, and plenty of outdoor deck space allows you to take advantage of its natural surroundings.

As you come into the entry courtyard, you may enter the house through a large foyer that was originally lined with bookshelves to make it a reading room, or through the kitchen/dining area. If you come in through the foyer, you pass through a pair of doors to enter the central living space. A laundry area is to the right, and the kitchen is open to spacious living and dining areas. Abundant windows line the walls to make the room bright and sunny, and a fireplace sits at one end of the living room. A master bedroom suite is to the right, which has doors to the backyard deck.

Upstairs there is a family room, which may also be used as a guest room. It features a wood stove, a wet bar, a full bath, and a large out door deck. Two pairs of glass doors that lead to the deck, bring in sunlight and outside views.
