The second bedroom and kitchen are east-facing, with windows that provide a charming “European-like” city view. The eat-in kitchen has been stylishly renovated with white cabinetry accentuated by subway tiles, gray marble countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. Here, as in every other room, the bespoke modern lighting perfectly complements the turn of the century architecture.
