You enter a vestibule that leads to a generous foyer, large enough for a dining table. The Foyer ushers you into a generous sunken LR that features perfectly restored original Art Deco plaster details and southern exposure looking into the buildings striking common garden where Magnolia trees bloom outside your windows and give an air of "country in the city" quiet and calm.
