Inside, the living, kitchen and dining rooms overlook the south-facing side yard, while the bedrooms are located on the north side of the home. The original open beamed vaulted ceilings are still in place and have been sandblasted back to their original finish. The kitchen appears to have been updated within the last 10 years, with clean-lined natural finished cabinetry, granite counters and stainless steel appliances.

Living, dining and kitchen

The living and dining rooms are open to the kitchen, and appear to have had their south-facing windows shortened in height, allowing for more wall space for furniture but reducing the amount of natural light entering the home. This model was constructed without a fireplace, which allows for a large, flexible great room.
