Expect to be impressed with its perfect blend of vintage details and modern amenities.

The sunlit kitchen boasts classic white ceiling height cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, soapstone counter tops, breakfast bar, and pantry. Serene primary suite with updated bath and organized walk in closet. Plentiful remote work options including 3rd bedroom with custom murphy bed. Vintage details include hardwood floors throughout, restored moldings, custom built ins, and french doors.
