The southern-facing primary bedroom spans the full width of the building and has an extra deep closet, making it well lit as well as spacious. The two rear-facing bedrooms easily accommodate queen beds and accompanying furniture, have closets, and are pin-drop quiet. The tastefully renovated bathroom features a wonderful skylight, Calacatta marble tiling throughout, and a deep soaking tub. If all this wasn’t enough, a fully finished basement provides ample opportunity for entertaining, relaxing, a home gym, and storage. An additional full bath makes it perfect for guests.
