As of March 2013This gracious 1,276 SF two-bedroom, two-bath floor-through home blends timeless elegance with inviting comfort, highlighted by exquisite millwork throughout. Sunlight pours in through south-facing bay windows, creating a warm and welcoming ambiance.

The adjacent kitchen offers custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, and a charming breakfast bar that invites lingering mornings.
The oversized primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a working fireplace and beautifully detailed millwork. Through an arched doorway, an expansive dressing room with custom closets leads to a serene ensuite bath. A well-appointed second bedroom offers flexibility as a work-from-home office or comfortable guest room.
A marble-clad hall bath, in-unit laundry, and central air add everyday ease, while a shared roof deck and additional basement storage complete this thoughtfully designed home.
