A newly redesigned wood-paneled library with bookshelves, a fireplace, and a wet bar sits on the north side—easily convertible into an additional bedroom or expanded primary suite.

FOURTH FLOOR : Illuminated by a stunning skylight, this level includes three bedrooms, two with wood-burning fireplaces and en suite baths. The full-width front bedroom is exceptionally spacious, and an oversized linen closet adds extra convenience.
