The property consists of 7 condominium units that feature stately finishes such as hardwood floors, high ceilings, original fireplaces, custom woodwork, and superior window lines with city views. The units range from studio through two bedroom units, and the asset improved by two private off-street parking spaces in the rear of the building.
