The grand staircase is flooded with light from four large windows. The many Arts & Crafts era features include beamed ceilings, hardwood paneling, inglenook, built-in bookcases, leaded glass windows, and porte-cochere. On the second floor are the master suite with its enclosed sun porch and six-piece bathroom including needle bath and foot bath, as well as five more bedrooms.
