Generously proportioned, there is ample room for comfortable seating as well as a formal dining area, making this an ideal space for both gracious entertaining and everyday living. Beautiful prewar details throughout include high ceilings, pretty moldings, hardwood floors, glass door transoms and French doors, all contributing to the timeless character and elegance of the home.
