The formal parlor and dining rooms have lovely original paneling and period mantels over the fireplaces, chandelier does not convey . The wide-board parlor floor was recently refinished. There is a half bath/laundry room on the first floor and two full baths upstairs. Each of the three 2nd floor bedrooms is nicely sized and has a fireplace. The 3rd floor features an extra bedroom/office and large storage area.
