The elegant parlor floor welcomes you into a grand living and dining space with soaring ceilings, setting the stage for both cozy nights and stylish entertaining. At the rear of the home, a chef's kitchen equipped for serious culinary endeavors opens seamlessly onto a private deck overlooking a lush back garden-an idyllic spot for alfresco dinners or morning coffee.

Upstairs, a full floor primary suite serves as the perfect escape with a generous walk-in closet and attached balcony. The next floor offer 3 additional bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Ascend to a one-of-a-kind lounge with a wet bar and dual terraces before reaching the crowning jewel, a large roof deck over-looking the quaint neighborhood.
