The living room has original wood-paneled ceilings and several sets of French doors that open to the patio. Across the foyer is a sitting room with a fireplace tucked into an alcove. The kitchen, at the far end of the foyer, has original terra cotta floors and a wall of built-in wood cabinets with brass hardware. The sellers added a green AGA range and new marble countertops. Around the corner, a separate catering kitchen has a gas cooktop.

The other full bathroom has walls lined with glossy green tile, and next door is a bedroom that could be used as an office or as part of the primary suite.
