The house is filled with arts-and-crafts style details, including light, cottage-style full-wainscotting, quadrant douglas fir ceilings, and an original fieldstone fireplace with an airtight fireplace insert, creating warmth and a lodge-like atmosphere. The fully updated kitchen includes white, shaker-style cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. The house has a desirable layout, including ground-floor laundry, a ground-floor bedroom, and a bonus family-room or cheerful home office.
