Designed to be built into a slope, this charming three-bedroom home displays Craftsman styling outside and wide-open spaces on the main level. A covered porch shelters the entry, which opens to a small foyer with a coat closet. A door in the foyer leads to the garage, shop, and storage area on the foundation level.
No interior walls partition the communal living space on the main level, which is a few steps up from the foyer. Rather, function tells you whether you are in the kitchen, dining area, or living room. Ten-foot ceilings add even more volume to the open floor plan. A half-bath is just off the kitchen, which boasts a large center island with a sink, a linen closet, and a built-in pantry. Windows in the dining area overlook the deck outside, and an entire wall in the living room is devoted to a fireplace and built-in shelving. French doors in the living room open to the deck, and a box bay window with transoms allow streams of sunlight.
