The floor plan also incorporates a dedicated laundry room, generous closet space throughout, and an inviting gallery hallway that enhances the home\'s gracious flow while maximizing separation between the entertaining and bedroom wings.

Natural light pours into nearly every room through oversized windows, highlighting the home\'s classic prewar proportions while offering endless opportunities to customize every finish to suit your own vision.
