Many of the properties in the region were built around 1910, and have been meticulously restored and renovated, preserving charming period details while incorporating the comforts of contemporary living. Many of them have at least two stories, with some units having a small basement or attic space. Banks of windows line the exterior and provide ample natural illumination. The lot size for each of these units tends to incorporate either a back yard or a sumptuous landscaped front portion. A grand staircase will usually lead up to the front entrance, which is framed by a gabled portico and ushers the visitor into a small foyer where they may remove their jacket, stash their umbrella, and prepare for the splendor of the home within.

The staircases within the home typically have painted wooden banisters and ample landings on which small pieces of furniture may be placed. Because of the date of construction, most of these homes have separate rooms, as opposed to the more free-form open plan of contemporary design. This means that the living room has clearly delineated walls, often with doors between rooms to ensure privacy and also retain warmth during the winter months. Hardwood floors are typical, as are built-in cabinets. These cabinets often have lighting within them, and are placed in the corner of rooms, like a kind of semi-transparent closet. The dining room usually has a cabinet with both drawers and shelves, as well as a prominent lighting fixture that denotes where the dining table should go. The kitchen is frequently a galley-style affair, with long marble countertops and ample cabinet storage. Recessed lighting is often used in place of hanging fixtures, although in some remodels contemporary fixtures have been installed. An informal breakfast nook is usually located directly to the side of the kitchen. This space can lead into a spiral staircase that leads to the principal sleeping areas. The attic spaces can often be designed to function as an additional recreation area or office space.
