The floors in this home are phenomenal and consist of the original 1930 hardwood and have been restored to their original glory.

The living room features a custom Hearthstone gas fireplace to complete the historic feel. The heart of this home includes a "hot" kitchen as well as a "cold prep" kitchen with restored original cabinets, gas cooktop, inline water filtration system, hot water dispenser, plus a pantry for extra storage and a breakfast nook.
