Indoors: This house sits behind a wooden fence and a yard landscaped with gravel and drought-tolerant plants. Wide steps lead up to the covered porch, which is big enough for a bench swing, several chairs and a table.
The bright pink front door opens into a foyer with refinished fir floors. The living room, to the left, has a wood-burning fireplace and French doors that open to a sunroom. On the other side of the living room is a windowed dining room with original built-in cabinets.
The updated kitchen, at the back of the house, has stainless steel appliances, butcher block counters and floating shelves and glass sliding doors that open to a deck. A powder room and a small bedroom used as a home office are also in this part of the house.
The other two bedrooms are off the foyer. They share an updated bathroom with a combined tub and shower.
