Developed between 1911 and 1913, Ingleside Terraces has many older homes with Arts & Crafts details. Originally, this home was painted darker colors, but the current color scheme of cream and ruddy brown has been used for at least thirty years. Typical of Arts & Crafts architecture, the house features:
  • Open floor plans; few hallways
  • Numerous windows - The owner counts 40!
  • Some windows with stained glass
  • Beamed ceilings - In the dining room, the beams are made with redwood
  • Dark wood wainscoting and moldings. In the dining room, the redwood wainscoting is seven feet high.
