It features a lot of custom cabinetry, closet space, exposed beams in the den and upstairs room with the fireplace, wood paneling, unique fireplaces in the den and upstairs room. The front entrance door opens out, Mr Larsson noted that this is a Swedish tradition to afford more usable floor space inside the hallway, for fire safety, and harder for a burglar to break in. The interior walls are lathe and plaster which help keep the house a little cooler in the summer.
