Indoors: The living room, which looks out to the front patio’s greenery, has a vaulted ceiling pierced by short wood beams, and a wood-burning fireplace with a stone surround and hearth. It leads into a dining room, where two sets of double doors inset with glass open to a study and the kitchen. The study includes a wall of built-ins interspersed with windows looking out to a side garden. The kitchen has wood floors and cabinets and white-tile countertops and walls.

Another downstairs room that could be used as a second study opens out to the back. The first floor also has a large bedroom with crown molding and a bathroom with vintage fixtures (including a deep bathtub) and blue-green tile.

Climbing to the second floor, you find a large landing opening on one side to a bedroom with a beamed, vaulted ceiling and private deck, and on the other side to a playroom or storage room with a tentlike ceiling created by the roof gable. Also on this floor is a large guest bedroom with a small balcony and an exterior flight of stairs descending to the backyard. The second-floor bathroom has a white-tiled shower and vanity top and Art Deco-style frosted-glass-and-brass sconces.
