You enter this lovely Arts and Crafts Bungalow through a charming front porch that has the feel of a country cottage.The exterior was lovingly restored 10 years ago.Asphalt shingles were removed from the homes exterior to expose the original wood siding and trim details.Much of the wood was replaced and the rest was restored.A pleasing palette of Sage Green, Dijon Mustard, and a Rusty Rose were painted to accentuate the features and to compliment the wood tones.The roof was a tear-off and architectural shingles were used in keeping with the era of the home.The extra wide lot has been planted with an array of decorative grasses as well many other hardy perennials.The double living room and sitting room share an angled fireplace that has been equipped with a Jotul cast iron gas stove.The rooms have tall beveled glass windows that are truly a show stopper.Hardwood floors through out.The Old World Craftsmanship on the mantel piece and the dining room built-in cabinets must be seen!
