This condo has a ton of character and is located in an old (1890) Victorian mansion. A spiral staircase leads up from a small office space to a loft type bedroom with windows on 3 sides. The bedroom below has the same peninsula configuration....
Fireplace appears to be non-functional, but very elegant with green tile and etchings surrounding. Sole bathroom is nicely finished, but far from bedrooms, off of kitchen.

Nice layout and good space. Tiny full bath and no evidence of laundry in the building. Nicely maintained older building with charm.
