Indoors: The main house is at the top of a long driveway, with wood steps rising to a wide deck used for outdoor dining.
From the deck, a door opens to a sunny foyer with hardwood floors that continue up a short set of stairs and into the living room, which is elevated above the main level. The ceilings here are high and one wall is lined with built-in bookshelves. A wood-burning fireplace has a black hearth, and two sets of French doors open to Juliet balconies.
The kitchen is off the foyer and a connected dining area has a built-in seat set under diamond-pane windows in an alcove. In the kitchen, open shelves line the walls and appliances include a gas range and a cabinet-style refrigerator. A window above the sink looks out at the garden and stairs lead up to the second floor. A powder room is also off this part of the house.
The primary bedroom is upstairs, with space for a king-size bed and its own balcony. Another bedroom next door has white shiplap walls, and a bathroom across the hall has a walk-in steam shower lined with green tile.
