Details include original inlay hardwood floors throughout, exposed brick walls all along current living room and dining room, large double north and south facing windows for great air flow, expansive 9'4"" ceilings, custom built-in full height bookcases, original 8ft solid wood closet doors, excellent closet storage space, recessed lighting, and custom shades.

Elegant, timeless finishes were hand selected and include polished Carrara marble countertops with waterfall edge at peninsula, polished 1 x 1"" square mosaic Carrara marble backsplash, and dark porcelain tile flooring under foot for easy maintenance. Throughout the kitchen are custom white flat panel full overlay cabinetry constructed of premium materials - cabinet carcasses are 100% plywood with clear maple veneer finish interiors - equipped with Blum soft close hinges for all doors and drawers throughout.
