It has a modern but timeless design flawlessly executed to the highest standard of craftsmanship and materials including red wood beams and siding, all plaster and up spec spacing for all load bearing materials. The grand room has a wood burning fireplace that is centrally vented and complements the 14 foot beamed ceiling. The dine in kitchen has easy access to the grand room for parties, family dining and ease of serving. The LL has walk out access to a concrete patio and a spacious flat yard, and also has a fireplace. Each floor has 2 bedrooms & full baths & the lower level has a full laundry room and workshop as well as a large family room. The house maximizes sunlight and ambient ventilation resulting in a cheery open feeling that cannot be gotten in lesser homes. If you like sunlight, space and appreciate quality from an era when workmanship counted.
