Enter the home through the elegantly restored foyer with modern Moroccan cement tiles paired with the original, fully-restored doors into your grand parlor. In keeping with the traditional use of the parlor level with its sweeping ceilings, the front half is used as a formal sitting room with a showpiece vintage crystal chandelier, pier mirror, and retains original finishes including oversized windows with shutters and decorative original mantle. The back of the parlor level houses the oversized and sunny primary bedroom touting all the opulence one could wish for including walk-in closets, luxurious ensuite bathroom with steam shower and free-standing tub, along with an oversized terrace looking out over the garden to relax and enjoy your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine as you watch the sunrise and set.
