The rent rooms share two bathrooms and a dedicated kitchenette area with a sink, countertop, and microwave. Improvements were completed through a top-to-bottom, down-to-the-studs renovation in 2020, totaling $500,000+ and including new heating, electrical, and plumbing systems, along with a new roof, windows, siding, flooring, and structural stairs. A full, unfinished basement provides space for upgraded utilities and offers storage for ongoing maintenance.

An unfinished basement also supports practical maintenance and storage needs.
