Indoors: The 1924 house has two points of entry: the front door, at the end of a paved path, and the side door, covered by a porte cochère.

Inside the front door, a tiled foyer turns to the living room, where the hardwood floors are original and an arched picture window overlooks the street. The windows, with original wood frames, were recently refinished. Off the living room is a sunny den that doubles as a guest bedroom with a full bathroom.

Midcentury-inspired sconces frame an arched doorway dividing the living room from the formal dining room. The dining room connects to the updated kitchen, which has quartz countertops, custom-made cabinets and a breakfast nook with a door to the rear patio.

Three bedrooms are on the second floor. Windows in the primary suite face the front and side yards, and the attached bathroom was updated with a walk-in shower and a separate soaking tub. Off the primary suite, an extra space with a door to a rooftop terrace could be a home office or dressing room. The two guest rooms are large enough to hold queen-size beds and share a windowed bathroom, also recently updated. A closet holds a stacked washer and dryer.
