Indoors: A short set of steps lead from the sidewalk to the home’s front door, beneath a transom window. The house has its original hardwood floors, and stairs with the original wood banister run up to the second floor.

The living room, at the front of the house, has tall windows that fill the space with light. A bench is built beneath the river-facing windows of one of the walls, and behind the living room is the formal dining room, where a recessed nook could hold a home bar.

The kitchen has pressed metal ceilings and a gas range, plus a dishwasher and a built-in microwave. At the back of the house is a sunroom where windows face the river and a door opens to a deck.

The primary en suite bedroom, upstairs, also faces the river and has its own deck. There’s a closet and the bathroom has a double vanity with a black stone countertop. The second bedroom, also on the second floor, has four large windows. Next door is a bathroom with a combined tub and shower.
