A dramatic two-story window wall brings in natural light and creates a serene indoor garden/conversation area-perfect for morning coffee or evening wind-downs.

The lower level features a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, full cabinetry, and pantry storage, along with a generous dining area framed by another brick fireplace. A separate exterior entrance makes this level especially convenient for guests, deliveries, or hosting. Upstairs, the second floor offers a bright bedroom with fireplace and a beautifully updated primary bath with soaking tub, double vanity, and a striking glass-block wall that filters natural light throughout. The third floor features another comfortable bedroom with access to a private roof terrace-ideal for sunbathing, quiet work-from-home moments, or moonlit cocktails. A charming fourth-floor dormered loft serves as a third bedroom or flexible creative/office space. Additional storage is found in the lower basement, complete with a massive arched walk-in fireplace-an unforgettable architectural detail. Recent updates include a new water heater (2020) and roof (2018). A premium home warranty is in place through 10/31/26 for added peace of mind.
