The kitchen is modern and well-equipped with all necessary cooking and kitchenware. French doors lead to the classic back porch with wicker furniture overlooking the private courtyard.

The home includes two full vintage bathrooms, one downstairs and one upstairs, along with a large laundry/dressing room upstairs. The grand staircase leads to all 4 bedrooms upstairs (3 spacious bedrooms and a smaller 4th bedroom known as the ‘trunk room’.)
