Bancroft Cottage

This tri-level hillside home is rich with architectural details and endowed with a distinctive floorplan. Reminiscent of craftsman style, the exterior is ornamented with pilasters at each corner, knee braces beneath the eaves, and vertical trim in the front gable. Garage doors are staggered, making it possible to park three cars in the two stalls. Bedrooms on all three levels provide ultimate privacy. A covered porch shelters the front door, which enters the home midway between the main and lower levels. Steps lead up to the kitchen, dining and living spaces, which are all open to each other. A fireplace warms the communal area. An adjacent deck links it to the outdoors. The bedroom on this floor could double as a den or home office. Also on the main level are a bath with a large shower and a laundry nook. The entire upper level is devoted to the master suite. A large closet connects the vaulted bedroom and bath. A linen closet and second closet in the bedroom provide even more storage space. A third bedroom and bath are housed on the lower level.
