Sunny Kingman Home Showcases Informal Family Room
The William W. Kingman residence at 1216 Thirtieth Street SE features a lower level family room with horizontal grain pine paneling and a glass wall that sparked ownership. The central reception hall and living area use birch and maple with earth tones, while the kitchen and basement plan future recreation space. A 1736 French map and Pacific Northwest watercolors accent the family room, and the layout connects the main hall to the dining area through a corridor-like kitchen.
