The expansive parlor level is a perfect backdrop for large-scale entertaining, with wide-open living, dining space & kitchen. A light-filled eastern bay window, which looks down the magical landmarked street, anchors a charming room with original exposed brick and custom sliding doors. Carefully hidden modern technology, like a Smart Home system, a projector, a drop-down screen, and built-in surround sound, add to the allure.
