Inside, period details blend seamlessly with everyday functionality. The spacious living room offers Douglas fir flooring, crown molding, decorative fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and a beautiful Tiffany-style chandelier. The oversized kitchen is designed for gathering and features granite countertops, abun dant maple cabinetry, some with leaded-glass fronts, farmhouse sink, decorative blue tile backsplash, bronze hardware, skylight, recessed lighting, breakfast area, and stainless steel appliances including a gas range, dishwasher & refrigerator.
