Pros
Most rooms are bright with natural light. Original baths are in good condition, as are other period details, like hardwood floors, built-ins and French doors. The first-floor en suite bedroom would make a perfect au pair suite.
Cons
There is no central air-conditioning. The driveway could use some attention. And most of the property’s green space is out front.
