Some things merit preservation; a true Craftsman is one of them. Aesthetic loyalty and restoration protect and enrich the beauty of this North End bungalow. Original oak and fir floors; windows and millwork; even the original, refinished bath and sink speak clearly of the quality sustained across decades. A window-wrapped reading room adjoins the dining space. A sun porch extends from the eat-in kitchen. A custom mahogany mantel distinguishes the gas fireplace. The garden flanks three sides of the house in leaf and blossom, peony and patio, lawn and lavender. Set on a landscaped corner lot with a carriage house style garage in the Three Bridges District near Proctor and the University of Puget Sound.
