About the home

Spanning approximately 2,477 square feet, the residence features beautifully proportioned rooms, custom built-ins and architectural details that reflect the character of one of the city's iconic residential landmarks. A generous living room with fireplace anchors the home, while the updated kitchen offers modern function without compromising its historic appeal. A private library provides an inviting space for reading or working from home, and an adjoining bonus room offers flexibility as a sitting room, dressing area or future bath.
