First floor hosts two gathering rooms offering flexible use, two bedrooms, kitchen and bath. Second unit comprises the second and third floors, both levels awash in fabulous natural light. Open living and dining room area features a ribbon of windows offering tree-line views and good scale; the eat-in kitchen showcases exposed brick and beam and ample room to cook and dine. Two bedrooms on the second and an expansive third bedroom in the top-floor with skylights and amazing built-ins. Garage has been transformed into a studio space but could be converted.

This home has been expressly maintained to honor her heritage while being updated over time with major systems tackled. This beauty is a terrific opportunity for the investor and owner-investor alike.
