Matterport 3D Tours

This single-floor unit offers a thoughtfully arranged layout with a variety of architectural details that lend it considerable character. The standout feature is a generously sized curved living area, where a sweeping curved wall lined with multiple windows allows natural light to pour in from multiple angles, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. Carpet flooring flows throughout the main living spaces, complementing the warm, neutral palette of cream and beige tones on the walls. A decorative fireplace with a classic white mantle serves as a focal point in the main living space, adding a traditional touch. Adjacent to the living area, a hallway leads to the remaining rooms, including a bedroom distinguished by a full exposed brick accent wall — a nod to the building's historic character — paired with carpeted flooring and a double-hung window. The kitchenette features light oak cabinetry, a laminate countertop, stainless steel sink, and hardwood flooring, providing practical functionality in a compact footprint. The bathroom is straightforward and clean, equipped with a tiled shower, toilet, single-basin vanity with under-cabinet storage, and tile flooring. The corridor connecting the rooms is lined with carpet and provides clear sightlines throughout the unit.
