The classic ceiling medallion nods to the home's prewar origins while direct access to the kitchen, a coat closet and living space underscores its convenient layout. Together, the living and dining rooms provide more than 400 square feet for relaxing and entertaining alongside two sets of wide west-facing windows and sunset views. Folding doors connect the dining room to the extra-large windowed kitchen, where rows of wood cabinetry surround full-size appliances. At the rear of the home, two king-size bedrooms enjoy roomy closets and open-sky views, while the full bathroom offers a large tub/shower and an adjacent linen closet.
