Classic pre-war elegance greets you as you enter this gracious and quiet 2 bed/2 bath home. The grand scale living room’s centerpiece is a decorative marble fireplace punctuated by graceful windows on either side. Pre-war charm defines the dining room with it’s 2 corner built-in cabinets and wide wainscotting. The complementing finishes in the windowed kitchen include white custom cabinetry, granite countertops, an opalescent mosaic tile backsplash, and terra-cotta floor tiles. Appliances include a FisherPaykel refrigerator and double-drawer dishwasher, and a vintage 4-burner Wolf restaurant stove.

Both bathrooms are en-suite, have been updated with new fittings and fixtures while retaining much of their original pre-war detail.
