This level also includes a discreet powder room, generous storage, and an informal dining area with wet bar opening to a landscaped garden. Original pocket doors separating the parlors are within the walls, awaiting re-installation. The kitchen is equipped with dual sinks, stainless steel appliances, a skylight, and garden views.
