Washington St. has been preserved with original pocket doors, hardwood flooring, bullseye wood trim and ornate wood mantels with tortoise-shell tile accented fireplaces.
Some additions over time have expanded the floor plan options, and a double lot allows for outdoor entertaining.

The house sits on a corner lot with a stone and wrought-iron fence, paver-brick side patio and hidden courtyard. There is a one-car, attached garage with off-street parking.

Straight back from the foyer is a family room or possible first-floor main bedroom. This room has a corner fireplace with wood mantel and access to a full bathroom.
