On the entry level, the expansive living room, with a soaring double-height ceiling (16'6" feet), oversized windows with northern exposure, painted exposed brick and a wood-burning fireplace, creates a stunning backdrop for entertaining and relaxing.

The newly renovated bathroom on this level features a full tub with rainforest shower and marble mosaic tile flooring.

On the upper level, the two bedrooms, both with painted exposed brick, offer a quiet respite from the activities of the day with windows facing a quiet, tree-lined street. The large bedroom suite can fit a king-sized bed and additional furniture. A separate dressing area contains a walk-in closet, a separate shoe closet and a ten-drawer dresser. The en-suite bathroom has a marble-topped vanity with dual sinks, a full tub and shower and linen storage. The second bedroom can fit a queen-sized bed.
