A cast-iron wood-burning stove creates a warm focal point in the living room, complemented by genuine bamboo flooring throughout and central heating and air conditioning. Double-paned windows enhance comfort, while several original mid-century windows in the west-facing living room preserve the home's period character. The kitchen is beautifully accented by a distinctive copper range hood. Both bedrooms offer ceiling fans and mirrored-door closets, with one bedroom opening directly to a private outdoor deck.
