Upon entering this home, you are greeted by a gracious gallery that stretches 24 feet from the living room to the formal dining room. The living room measures 27 feet and boasts three large windows with beautiful historic views and northern light. The living room is spacious enough for multiple seating areas, grand furniture, and endless design opportunities.
At the opposite end of the gallery, you'll find the perfectly scaled formal dining room with an oversized picture window offering sunny eastern exposures into the courtyard. The dining room is spacious enough to accommodate a family room, media room, and formal dining.
The eat-in kitchen perfectly combines restored historic charm with modern finishes and conveniences. The original stainless steel St. Charles cabinetry and floor-to-ceiling subway tile backsplash have been lovingly and professionally restored. These beautiful touches are blended with the conveniences of modern living including stunning quartzite counters, a gorgeous black mosaic floor, the best high-end appliances including a SubZero fridge, a Viking range and hood, and a Miele dishwasher.
