Several rooms are connected to a large spacious living room-kitchen area with a high ceiling, lots of windows overlooking the ocean, stairs, landings and a loft. Many different woods are used throughout, notably oak, pine and cherry. The floors are birch, pine and, in the older parts of the house, original pumpkin pine. A wrap around deck is just outside with outdoor stairs descending to the lawn below.
