The third room could easily serve as an office, guest room, or additional living space to suit your needs. The moment you enter and see the beautiful marble stairs and mahogany trim in the building's entryway, you know something special awaits. The spacious foyer in the unit leads to an oversized living room with built-in shelves. The dining room is a true gem, featuring an original buffet, which has recently been restored to its original wood finishes, spans the length of the room, and is topped by a stunning stained glass window. Beamed ceilings and a plate rail add to the room's historic charm. The kitchen has been updated with new wood cabinets, quartz backsplash, and countertops, and it opens to the dining room with a pass-through/breakfast bar.
