Stairs in the foyer lead to the second floor, which has three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a laundry room. Inlay along the hardwood floors in the primary bedroom is original, and a bay of windows faces the backyard. The other two bedrooms both have access to a balcony, and one bathroom has a walk-in shower while the other has a combined tub and shower.

The third floor has a bedroom with pitched ceilings, a full bathroom and several flexible spaces used now as a gym and a home office.

This four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom house is within the Fort Street Historic District, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. It was designed by the architect J. E.

Indoors: The brick and fishscale shingles on this home’s facade are painted blue, and the front door, flanked by original leaded-glass windows, is at the center of a covered porch.

Off one side of the foyer is the living room, where the hardwood floors and the wood window frames are original. Off the other side of the foyer is an office where a fireplace has an original brick surround.

The kitchen, at the back of the house, has custom-built cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, including a wall oven and a gas cooktop set in front of a red brick backsplash. A dining area off the kitchen has doors that open to the backyard, and a powder room and a laundry room are around the corner.

The primary suite is on the first floor, off the foyer. The bedroom, which fits a king bed, has street-facing windows and a vintage-inspired light fixture, and a full bathroom is en suite.
