Indoors: From the driveway, a gate in a picket fence opens to this home's front yard, with the door at the back of a wide deck.
Inside is a combined laundry room and office, with a side-by-side washer and dryer and space for a desk. Through this area is the kitchen, where the countertops are butcher block and the cabinets are painted blue. There are colorful tile backsplashes and a window above the farmhouse sink.
On the other side of the kitchen is the main living area, anchored by a fireplace with a stone surround and a wood mantel. Arched windows on either side of the fireplace overlook the front yard, and a dining nook is tucked into a corner of the room.
The lofted primary bedroom is at the top of a staircase beginning in the living room. A windowed alcove has space for a queen-size bed, with room for a dresser or a chair at the other side of the room. The full bathroom, with a combined tub and shower, is at the bottom of the stairs.
