Up the stairs on the second floor are two extra large bedrooms each with over-sized windows which offer beautiful views of the historic neighborhood. The bedroom at the rear of the house also features a sunroom with a door to the adjoining terrace. There is a full bathroom in the hallway along with a pass-through adjoining the bedrooms which retain the original woodwork and cabinetry along with the original marble sinks and vanity area typical of these houses.

There is an extra large bedroom in the front of the house and two additional rooms in the rear portion currently configured as a guest room and an extra-large office which is the fourth bedroom. Also retaining the original passthrough complete with built-in cabinetry and marble sinks, the third floor has a full bathroom, as well as a suburban sized laundry room.
Outside, a private yard provides a serene retreat for outdoor gatherings or simply unwinding in the fresh air. Additional highlights include an unfinished English basement, providing abundant storage and potential for customization and additional 1,000 square feet of living space.
