Another window looks out to a small ranch parcel and a treed hillside owned by BLM. Rosettes on the window casings add a touch of formality.
The well-planned kitchen opens to the breakfast room and dining room. Ample oak cabinetry with iron pulls complements the oak floor. Lots of counter space, a tile backsplash, and double stainless sink makes this kitchen oh-so-easy.
