The thoughtfully renovated kitchen honors the home's heritage with an original California cooler, a pie hutch, a wooden sink skirt, and Douglas fir floors. The old is married with new through the use of beautiful decorative tile, coordinated cabinetry, and carefully selected hardware, which was sourced to match thetch the original design. Mixed countertop surfaces create a bespoke, furniture-like feel. The primary suite includes an en suite bath and laundry facilities, while two additional bedrooms offer privacy near the second full bath.
