House Tour: Untouched since 1958
This house is special
The 1958 house was in untouched, original condition—with all it’s heart in tact. The occupants marveled at the thoughtfully considered floor plan and the ingenious use of inexpensive and natural materials. The kitchen is a galley-style (including a 1940s Wedgewood six-burner stove they had reconditioned), which allows for multiple cooks to operate with ease. There is room to seat eight comfortably in the dining area and they extended the counter to add a serving bar with three bar stools. The eating area flows easily to a covered outdoor table to enjoy morning coffee and the bounty of fresh fruit and vegetables from a variety of fruit trees and raised garden beds. We love having extra bedrooms for returning children and guests. While the bedrooms have a small dimension they allow everyone to have their own private retreat. Douglas fir is used for the beams, trim and cabinets throughout the home. The woodwork is simple, functional and beautiful. The homeowners refinished the cabinets and polished the original brass hardware to bring back their former condition. Cork flooring runs through the majority of the house. They are comfortable under foot, add warmth and are environmentally friendly. Via
