In the home's formal dining room, with yet another wood burning fireplace and a beautiful Juliet balcony, large dinner parties can be entertained comfortably. 

In the private wing of the property, there are four large bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and views that overlook the tree lined street through the front of the home. The primary bedroom in particular, has a fireplace, two marble-clad bathrooms, and 2 dressing rooms.
