A bonus room is found off the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom that contains beautiful French doors that lead to the covered back porch. The second bedroom is located off this bonus room.

Not withholding anything from the other rooms of this fantastic home, the hall bathroom also has fun wallpapered walls. This home does not have itPs own utility room because in the 1920Ps, most homes did not even have electricity so the washer & dryer connections have been placed on the back porch.
