Historically described as ''a 1.5 story clapboarded Bungalow with steeply pitched side facing gable roof which runs over front porch. Porch roof supported by four wood on brick pier columns. Large, shed roof dormer in front. Brackets on eaves on huge side gables.'' Its landmark status gives the home a 50% property tax reduction & also protects the home's exterior.

On the first floor: Living Room, Den, Dining Room, Kitchen, Bedroom, Side-Porch with Laundry PLUS wonderful covered, gabled front porch & back screened-in porch.

The home has its original clapboard siding, decorative windows, pine doors & floors, 4 unique chimney hearths with coal boxes
& many other wonderful original details. Besides being ''old'' & drippingly lovely, the house has musical history, having been built for and resided in by Mabel & G. Frank Warner, folklorists & folk song musicians. They were involved in bringing into the public realm the songs ''He's Got the Whole World in His Hands'' and ''Tom Dooley''. The Den was the music room. Outside: The porch-swing front porch- set up on a hill- is classic. The left exterior of the home has been fenced-in & hardscaped with an enclosed hot tub area & ''fire pit'' seating area. The entire leafy backyard is wood-fence enclosed. It has wending paths. The rear screened-in porch- added in 2013- is a highlight. The home has a driveway & private off-street parking. Backyard storage shed. Districted for George Watts Elementary School.
