You’ll have spacious, high-ceilinged rooms with many modern updates, but also a few old house quirks and wooden stairs leading to the bedrooms and main bathroom on the second floor. This home isn’t well-suited for pets, babies, toddlers, and people with mobility issues, There is a modern shower but no bathtub for toddlers. There are antique wood floors on the ground level, lots of stairs to access the bedrooms, and other toddler hazards, but there’s plenty of space and it’s just right for older children.
