The house has all the charm of an old Victorian, with 10 foot ceilings, slightly uneven hard wood floors and quirky staircases. The house is not childproofed (no covered outlets or secured furniture). There are 14 steps up to the front porch, stairs inside to go up to the bedrooms and down to the rec room, and 6 steps down the side porch to the parking pad.
The house has dual zoned central air conditioning and whisper quiet water heated radiators. The radiators will be warm to the touch, but will not burn. The owners live next door, so please let us know if you need anything.
In the summer, guests have access to owner's in-ground swimming pool, which is located across the street. The pool will be shared with the owners and their guests. The pool is fenced in and has a locked cover which requires a passcode to be opened. The pool has an 8 foot deep end with diving board, basketball goal in the shallow end, outdoor kitchen and bathroom. The pool is open 10am-10pm everyday between Memorial Day and Labor Day, weather permitting. This is a salt pool, and is heated all summer long. Pool floats and toys are provided.
