The agent has not published further details about the layout, such as the number of rooms or bedrooms, nor about any outdoor space or installations. The building was constructed in 1878, which is a fact about its age rather than a comment on its condition. Because the listing is incomplete, there is little more to say about the interior of this particular home.
