Enter into an inviting living room featuring original solid oak hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, an oversized window overlooking the courtyard and a generous coat closet. Step up a few stairs to the conveniently located powder room and dining room, where a dramatic floor-to-ceiling east-facing window fills the space with beautiful morning light and offers glimpses of the river. The dining room flows seamlessly into the expanded eat-in kitchen, thoughtfully enlarged by the current owners and appointed with abundant Omega solid cherry cabinetry, designer concrete countertops, a glass-tile backsplash, newer top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances including a premium induction range, porcelain tile flooring and a built-in cherry desk and workstation.
