Theparlor floor features a dramatic formal dining room anchored by soaring archedwindows, a hallmark repeated across three stories of the façade. A center-islandkitchen opens directly onto a private deck, blending historic character witheveryday functionality.
On the upper floors, a front-to-back great room showcases high ceilings, afireplace, and intricate period moldings, while the penthouse level—with itswall of windows—provides treetop views and access to a roof deck offeringpanoramic city vistas. The lower level adds a media room, full bath, laundry,and direct-access garage, complemented by additional parking.
