The asymmetrical facade features timbered gables, multi-pane windows, 2 chimneys and original front door. Step inside and discover a bit about Judge West with expansive bookcases to hold his legal library. The living room has tall ceilings, large multi-pane window and Batchelder tile fireplace.

An incredible kitchen is filled with light, open beam ceiling, wine cellar and large island. It opens to a nook with glass walls on 2 sides creating an indoor/outdoor feel. A spacious Family room was added and mimics the Living room with a arched window, high ceilings, wet bar & fireplace. A small guest bath was also added.
