The open kitchen on the ground floor features beautiful, custom-made tiger wood cabinets (praised in a New York Times article of August 2, 1964), granite counter-tops, stainless steel appliances, a washer/dryer, slate floors, as well as another brick fireplace (the original baking oven has been sealed, but is still visible). The formal dining area opens to a lush, landscaped garden with fully matured trees that provide shade and privacy and attract uncommon birds. A full bathroom with antique fixtures and a small bedroom adjoin the dining room. The master bedroom has exposed brick, 2 windows, a walk-in closet and a full bathroom with natural light. Central AC. Rich with charm & character, several celebrities have occupied in this duplex home.
