Indoors: A paved path leads from the driveway to the covered entryway, where the front door opens to a foyer with wide-plank oak floors. The living room, off one side of the foyer, has a fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling rock surround. A nearby formal dining room has custom-built cabinets, which are painted green, and a wet bar finished with House of Hackney floral-print wallpaper.
At the back of this level is the kitchen, where the countertops are marble and the stainless steel appliances are by Bosch. A breakfast nook with built-in seating is tucked into one corner, and a powder room off this part of the house also has wallpaper with a floral motif.
All four bedrooms are upstairs, off a landing at the top of a wide staircase that begins in the foyer. The primary bedroom has a Herman Miller light fixture and a wide window, and the en suite bathroom has a soaking tub atop black-and-white floors that continue into a walk-in shower.
Another bedroom across the hall also has its own bathroom. Two more bedrooms, one of which has a wall of built-in cabinets, share a bathroom where the walk-in shower is lined with pink and orange tiles.
