The dining room features a stunning stenciled floor, and lovely built- in cabinets for ample storage. Step out to the beautifully landscaped garden, which feels like an extension of the room and is a true oasis in the city designed by Robin Key Landscape Architects. A powder room completes this level.

A grand, open landing greets you as you arrive on the parlor floor. This central area is like a room unto itself, with light coming in from the huge skylight above, and provides excellent entertaining flow between the living room to the north, and the library to the south. An 8' wet bar with ample storage and serving area is cleverly hidden behind a wall of paneling. The living room features 12'2' ceilings, a gas fireplace and a lovely oval lot line window on the eastern wall, the perfect location from which to relax on a chaise and morning sun.
