The entertainer's kitchen features views of the river and a charming breakfast nook. Gather in the expansive dining room or relax in the light-filled sunroom. A lower-level walkout apartment with its own full kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom offers flexible space for extended stays, and an unfinished loft presents the opportunity for even more living space.
