The house has some built ins and structural pillars as well as a fireplace and many windows.  It has higher ceilings and considerable elements of architectural interest throughout.  This home, with some remodeling and upgrades, could be a very desirable very special historic example of the Craftsman architectural style of the 1900's.  It is clearly a hidden gem and a great opportunity for the right buyer.
