Indoors: A white wood fence lines this home’s front yard, with a gravel driveway on one side.

The covered front porch has wood columns, and from there a door opens to the foyer and a staircase to the second floor. Wide-plank floors run into the living room, which has a windowed nook overlooking the side yard. An intricately-detailed ceiling medallion is original, and on the other side of an arched doorway is a dining room with four-over-four windows.

On the other side of the dining room is the kitchen, which has a paneled refrigerator and a walk-in pantry. An island in the kitchen accommodates two bar stools, and around the corner is a breakfast room with black-and-white marble tiled floors. A half bathroom is off the foyer.

All three bedrooms are on the second floor. The primary suite is big enough for a king-size bed, has high ceilings and space for a reading chair in front of a bay of windows. The attached bathroom has a glassed-in shower.
