A raised porch opens to a foyer with hardwood floors and a staircase to the second level. There are two formal parlors off the foyer. One, with a fireplace, is set up as a library. The other has wallpaper with an ocean motif and is used as a sitting room. Both have original wood paneling.

A formal dining room behind the library has a crystal chandelier and six-over-six windows. A corridor with black and white tile floors connects the dining room to a kitchen with custom cabinets and a center island that has a wood countertop. The appliances, including a gas range, are stainless steel. A sunroom that faces the backyard is set up as a home gym, and there’s a powder room off the foyer.

All four bedrooms are on the second floor. The primary suite fits a king-size bed and has dark gray walls and white trim. The attached bathroom has a glass-walled shower and a deep soaking tub.
