Indoors: The front yard is enclosed by a picket fence and landscaped with rose bushes and apple trees. The teal front door opens into a living-and-dining area with mahogany paneling, recently restored Douglas fir floors and a fireplace with a simple white brick surround.

The kitchen, off the dining area, has slate floors, white tile counters and a vintage white enamel range. A full bathroom with a walk-in shower and a porcelain pedestal sink is off the kitchen.

All three bedrooms are on the second floor, reached from stairs in the living room. The primary bedroom has wood-paneled walls and a window looking out into the branches of a mature tree. The bedroom next door, currently used as a den, has paneled walls painted white. The third bedroom has forest green wainscoting. A bathroom with slate floors and a shower with a glass door is also on this level.

Outdoor space: The deck, reached through a door near the dining area, functions as an outdoor living and dining room in the warmer months, offering views of trees and neighboring rooftops. The property includes a private dock on the lake, as well as a dock house big enough to hold a small table and chairs. The driveway has space to park several cars.
