As an added benefit, there are existing DOB approvals in place to convert the home's half bathroom into a full bathroom and add an in unit washer and dryer. The layout is as functional as it is elegant. A 12-foot foyer leads to a grand living room featuring oversized windows, a coffered ceiling with intricate plasterwork, and a decorative fireplace. The primary bedroom is equally impressive with two spacious closets and a windowed ensuite bath. The primary bedroom can comfortably fit a king-sized bed with abundant room for additional storage.
