The house has tall ceilings and hardwood floors of dark mahogany and light oak. The living room has built-in cabinets. The open floor plan kitchen features a granite breakfast counter that can seat up to eight. Appliances are stainless steel, including a double stove. Off the kitchen is a large deck looking out to the marsh. At the other end of the kitchen is a cozy bedroom, now used as an office.
