Indoors: The home has two main entrances: a wood door set in the center of the street-facing brick facade and a side door off the driveway that opens into the kitchen.

The front door opens into a tiled foyer with a staircase to the second floor. The living room, to the right, has wide-plank hardwood floors, a brick fireplace, new energy-efficient windows and a door to the kitchen.

To the left of the foyer is a space that could be used as dining room; it has access to a laundry room and a closet. A hallway links this space to a full bathroom and to the updated kitchen, which has a BlueStar gas range, custom-built cabinetry, a brick chimney and a back staircase to the second floor.

All three bedrooms are on the second floor. Two guest rooms are off the stair landing at the front of the house. One has a closet that connects it to an updated bathroom with a walk-in shower; the other has the use of a bathroom with a claw-foot soaking tub. The primary bedroom is linked to these bedrooms by a short hallway; it can also be reached directly from the back staircase. It has multiple windows, a skylight and a windowed nook currently used as closet space.
