The house has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 2,500 square feet on two stories, built in 1927.

Other spaces include a library, sunroom, and four spacious bedrooms with hardwood floors—no carpet in sight. The kitchen features a cute black-and-white checkered floor, lots of white cabinets, an island, and black granite countertops. The master bathroom has a clawfoot tub, and the large backyard offers landscaping, mature trees, a detached two-car garage, and multiple seating areas.
