and privacy. It is a very peaceful haven, perfect for relaxing and entertaining.
Inside, the high ceilings, fir floors, original millwork and doors, and big
windows contribute to the graceful feeling of this comfortable home. There
is a large living room and a formal dining area with a bump out bay and
three windows overlooking the south side garden. Abundant lighting options
include wall sconces, ceiling can lights, and the dining room chandelier.

The dining room opens to the kitchen, which has a charming eating nook,
plenty of cabinets and counter space, tile backsplash, fir floors, and a window
above the sink looking out over the back garden! A wide windowed staircase
leads down from here and out to the garden or down to the basement.
Downstairs, the wide-open basement is finishable with relatively high ceilings. The space houses the laundry area and sink, gas furnace, water heater and has built in cabi - nets and shelving for additional storage. The garage is also accessed here and includes a built-in work bench. A new garage door keeps with the character of the house and has leaded windows letting in plenty of light. Much of the plumbing and electrical have been updated.
Outside, the garden surrounds a lawn and has been artistically designed to create a private world with a lovely patio and many varieties of shrubs, trees, perennials and herbs (see separate garden brochure and plant list), providing interest year-round and many successions of blooms. The back garden is fully fenced and has an arbored gate leading to the alley and raspberry patch. Plus, there are raised beds in the south side and in back, ideal for growing annual veggies! This is a great garden home!
