The 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath unit offers unparalleled character and formerly served as the estate's billiards room. The condo exudes warmth with its mahogany paneled walls, 13' coffered wooden ceilings, and abundant natural light from large pane windows on the north and east sides. Original details such as oversized doors, ornate woodwork, and hardwood floors add to the unit's historic allure. Modern amenities include Fujitsu Mini-split systems in the living room and bedroom for efficient heating and cooling. A private entrance with adjacent parking completes this unique offering.
