The house retains a full-width shed-roofed front porch with decorative brick balustrade and attached porte-cochere, wood shakes in the gable ends, and a decorative front-gabled dormer with four-over-one windows. The interior retains two original brick mantels and two wood mantels as well as original butler's pantry cabinetry and bathtubs. The renovated home features a contemporary kitchen and updated bathrooms. The enclosed rear porch was divided to create a master closet and screened porch off the kitchen. The basement was sealed and partially finished.The house was fully renovated
