It's Arts and Crafts down to the last detail and the Neighborhood should get their description corrected because it would get a LOT more attention and interest listed correctly as an Arts and Crafts. To the last detail: The door and window casement details, especially the beautiful fireplace, the window types and even down to the hanging light fixture it is totally Arts and Crafts and again, one of very best examples I have ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing your access. Just as an aside, it is true it has a gambrel roof, which most people usually associate with Dutch Colonial, it has columns which are usually associated with classical style and it has a bay window which most people associate with Queen Anne, all of those borrowed elements are very common in Arts and Crafts houses. This house should be linked to the Arts and Crafts restoration sites, it is one of the most popular and attractive historical styles that people are undertaking.

I came across it looking for Shingle Style Bungalow gambrel roof lines. I hope you can post the interior staircase and dining room at least.
