Rustic Schippers Home Shows Countryside Charm

Two years of planning and hard work produced a rustically beautiful ranch style house in a two acre lot north of town. Designed and built by Mr. and Mrs. Arnold A. Schippers, the residence features half stone and half redwood exterior, cedar shakes, a sunken living room, large picture windows, and a natural pond view. The family rooms include knotty pine walls, custom built furniture, and a kitchen with knotty pine cupboards. The home is heated by an oil fired hot water system with thermopane windows.
