Every detail of this home evokes a sense of grandeur, with soaring ceilings, oversized windows, intricate crown moldings, gorgeous millwork and four fireplaces that create warmth and charm throughout. A large and inviting gallery welcomes you into the home and leads to a spacious living room highlighted by a fireplace and oversized window with open city views and a Juliet balcony. Adjoining is a library, or third bedroom, with built-in shelving and a second fireplace. Across the hall, the dining room, currently configured as a den, features southern exposures, elegant wainscoting, a large closet, and a third fireplace.

The primary suite offers ample storage, a fireplace, 3 closets, and an unusually large en-suite bath. A well-proportioned second bedroom is served by an additional full bathroom conveniently located in the hall.
