Indoors: Red brick steps lead up to the covered front porch, with a bench tucked into one corner. Inside, the living room has high ceilings and a picture window facing the street. A hallway leads to the kitchen where the appliances are stainless steel and the wide-plank floors are original. Around the corner is a pantry with black-and-white tile floors.
Off one side of the kitchen is a dining room with wood-paneled walls painted white, and off the back of the kitchen is the primary suite. The bedroom holds a king-size bed and the bathroom has floral-print wallpaper and a walk-in shower.
Another bedroom is off the living room, and off the main hallway is a bathroom with a green claw foot soaking tub. Stairs lead from the back of the hall to the second floor, where two more bedrooms each can fit two double beds. A bathroom on this floor has a wood vanity and a walk-in shower with goldtone hardware.
Outdoor space: The back patio has a fire pit with space for chairs around it, and across the backyard is a detached two-car garage that has a second floor apartment with a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
