Inside, the home has a traditional, but spacious floor plan with a separate living room and dining room area. The house has tall ceilings and its original hardwood flooring installed throughout the home. The home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Outside, there is ample backyard space, but hardly any green space. The yard space is a paved, uncovered patio.
