The home offers six versatile rooms, including two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a spacious kitchen adorned with original-style sea-blue Deco tiles, a separate dinette room, and an additional room that can serve as the formal living room or potential third bedroom. Framed by a classic white picket fence and welcoming entry arbor, the property is fully fenced for privacy and features quaint outdoor spaces with a small deck and garden areas filled with natural light.
