Can someone describe the general look of the Finch house from To Kill a Mockingbird using direct quotes?

They live on the main residential street of Maycomb (6). They had a tree house between giant twin chinaberry trees in the back yard (8). There's a dining room that separated from the kitchen by a swinging door (27). They have a front porch and a back porch; the back porch is screened in and latches (38). It has three bedrooms--one each for Jem and Scout and Atticus. There's a carhouse (this a garage) (113). There's a folding cot in the kitchen where Cal sleeps when she stays overnight for any reason (134). There's apparently a "front bedroom" where Aunt Alexandra has her luggage placed when she comes to live (144). Of course, there's a living room with a fireplace and sofa and a chair where Atticus relaxes and reads in the evenings (and where Aunt Alexandra has her missionary society meetings) (149).
