Exterior
With richly stained cedar siding and crisp white exterior trim, this new Craftsman bungalow says "Home Sweet Home" like few new houses can.
The saltbox shape of the Orcas allows a nearly full second floor, maximizing the square footage on its compact footprint.
At just under 1,500 square feet, this home is snug and cozy while still roomy enough for stretching out and relaxing.
The expansive front porch, a full eight feet deep by thirty feet long, encourages the living space to spill out into the open yet sheltered air.
Heavy Craftsman-style exterior lighting in black cast iron adorns both the front and back porches as well as the north side of the home (lighting is courtesy Rejuvenation, the premier provider of period-authentic lighting and hardware).
Large casement windows along the front of the home and in the front-facing gable dormer provide plenty of natural sunlight inside and open up the saltwater views.
The use of 40-year architectural composition roofing adds not only solid protection from the elements but also a touch of style as well.
