A convenient powder room is also located on this level. Down below, the 16" x 38" garden is your private escape-perfect for relaxing, planting, or enjoying a little fresh air. Across four levels, the home showcases original decorative fireplaces, exposed brick, warm hardwood floors, and elegant woodwork. The modern chef's kitchen offers both style and function.
