The spacious foyer in the unit leads to an oversized living room with built-in shelves. The dining room is a true gem, featuring an original buffet, which has recently been restored to its original wood finishes, spans the length of the room, and is topped by a stunning stained glass window. Beamed ceilings and a plate rail add to the room's historic charm. The kitchen has been updated with new wood cabinets, quartz backsplash, and countertops, and it opens to the dining room with a pass-through/breakfast bar.
