A Two-Story Sunroom on the Hill

Inside, the home is filled with dark wood trim that is typical of older homes on the Hill. The kitchen is on the smaller side, but most of the bedrooms upstairs are spacious. A long driveway runs along the side of the home.

The lower level expands the home’s living area and while it’s currently being used as a playroom, the rectangular space could be used for a variety of different purposes.
