The dining room lies adjacent to the living area, separated with a vintage wooden room divider.  

Kitchen with original cabinetry

The kitchen is open to the separate dining room, and still retains all original unpainted cabinetry with original saucer pulls. The countertops have been updated with butcher-block laminate, while the appliances have been updated over time.
