The second bedroom currently houses a indoor infrared sauna which would need to be relocated for the space to function as a bedroom. The hallway bath has a shower-tub and a pedestal sink with an attractive glass bowl. The large fenced yard is deep and especially popular with many of Airbnb guests who bring their dogs. The yard includes a firepit with a sitting area.
