A large gallery leads to the living room, where three windows fill the space with natural light and a wood-burning fireplace adds to its classic character. The formal dining room offers ample space for both everyday dining and entertaining. It sits adjacent to the kitchen, which includes a large pantry and separate service entrance. The primary bedroom has two exposures and an en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms offer generous space and ample closets. A separate staff room with a third full bathroom provides added flexibility as an office or guest room. Beamed ceilings, herringbone floors and classic prewar details throughout add character to this special home and provide a wonderful foundation for your vision. 50% financing permitted. 2% flip tax. Pets and pied-a-terres are permitted with board approval.
