The home is set near the front of a .28 acre lot, and the back yard is enclosed by a solid 4 feet cedar fence, allowing for both privacy and air flow. Within the large yard is a small fenced area that's used that to allow pets to be outside during parties without worrying about them being let out by guests. The black chain link blends so well that most people don't notice it's there. The yard not only has three gates, but also an 8-foot section that can be removed for delivery vehicles. Because the house is on a slight hill, sun streams in year-round. The yard has been landscaped to be lush but require little maintenance. For part of the year, you can walk into the back yard and pull a plum or apple off of one of the 5 fruit trees, including plumb, tart cherry, edible crab-apple and apple. When the trees bloom in the spring, the fragrance is intoxicating. The floor-plan of the house is perfect for entertaining, as each room flows to the next with broad entry arches. There is a "cabin" room and tuck-under garage that was added in 1954 that has the feel of a north woods cabin, complete with a wood burning stove. There's also a fireplace in the formal living room. The first floor has all of the original woodwork including picture moulding, and custom radiator covers build from quarter sawn oak sit atop the low radiators in the living room to create additional seating. The main bathroom has an electric heated floor and the "cabin" room has a water heated floor.
