Never judge a book by its cover, and never judge a house by its exterior. At least when it comes to certain residences.

The interior of the three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home is remarkable with its stone walls, hardwood floors, and huge windows that overlook the scenery outside. It seems to blend modern appliances with a vintage, 1960s lure.

The skylight is situated over the fireplace, which acts like a centerpiece for the front room. The original factor appears to be the wildness of the home’s design, which favors pointed lines and stones, stones, stones at almost every turn.
