The home was a recipient of a 2017 architectural preservation award for restoring gable shingles, custom wood Bay windows, enclosed porch including entry stairs and colonial balusters. New carriage-style doors have also been installed. Other features include a traditional living room with a gas fireplace, traditional stairs to new attic spaces with skylights, expanded kitchen and dining area with new stainless steel appliances, and french doors leading to a balcony and enclosed back yard.
