Pros
The tile flooring in the kitchen and foyer is easy to clean. The layout is ideal for entertaining, with the bedrooms tucked away from the dining area and living areas.
Cons
Both bedrooms have en suite bathrooms. Though beautiful, the leaded casement windows have original single panes and are not soundproof. The second bedroom doesn’t have a closet.
