Characteristics:
A unified garden and interior plan creates an inviting entrance that begins at the front gate and continues through the front door.
The massive roof gable establishes the strong, simple, fundamental form of a cottage.
Intricate millwork, including exposed dentils and wide window casings, emphasizes the Craftsman tradition of prominent, handcrafted trim.
