The upper level encompasses a rectangular living and dining area, an updated and well appointed kitchen, three bedrooms, and a full bathroom adorned with charming yellow fixtures and original cabinetry.

The louvered glass maximizes natural ventilation and airflow, and will make your houseguests “jealous”. These amazing windows extend to the three-season porch which opens to a vast backyard, fully fenced in with perennials scattered about. The house is furnished with iconic 1950s and 1960s pieces, including coveted designs from renowned creators like Heywood Wakefield, Herman Miller, and Kroehler to name a few!
