A spacious half bath with pretty blue tiles completes this floor.
The second floor has a huge primary bedroom with two exposures - one a virtual wall of windows, letting in abundant sunshine. There is plenty of room for all your creature comforts here. The other two bedrooms are quite spacious and could each accommodate a queen size bed if needed, and have large closets, with original antique mirrored doors. One has a double exposure. The bathroom was beautifully redone in the period of the home. It has a marble tiled floor, subway tiles, a rain shower head and a gorgeous stained glass window that was custom made for the space.
