Original oak flooring extends throughout the main living areas, while the rear hallway features slate flooring selected to remain consistent with the home’s historic character. The dining room includes a coffered ceiling and side street-facing windows that provide natural light and architectural detail. The kitchen has been updated with KraftMaid cabinetry, GE Café Series stainless steel appliances, and a dual-fuel oven—offset by the original maple floors.

Updated lighting and electrical systems provide modern functionality throughout.
