Inside, the home’s main living and kitchen area has been designed to feel like a restaurant. The original linear wood flooring was salvaged and made into a herringbone pattern.

This small sitting area focuses on the television, but the chairs can be easily turned around to face the kitchen.

Just off the small sitting area is another area with custom tufted leather benches, similar to those found in cafes.

The lofted area was engineered to add 400 square feet to the house and provide room for an additional bedroom.
