This incredible property also offers a fully renovated 1543 Sq Ft., 3-bedroom, 2 bath carriage house (325 W Ormsby Ave.). This property offers the use of both Commercial & Residential Zoning (which does not require special permits to operate Airbnb). Enter the spacious grand entry foyer with black and white marble flooring leading back to the center staircase. To the left of the foyer is the elegant formal living room with curved plaster crown molding, picture rail, a brass and crystal chandelier and gorgeous original fireplace mantel at the rear of the living room and foyer is the grand staircase sweeping us to the 3rd floor with a custom mural & skylight above to keep it light filled.

Beyond this area is a galley styled kitchen with breakfast bar which opens to a spacious eating area with period fireplace mantel, a bedroom along with a full bath that has a stack washer and dryer, mosaic tile floors, and a ceramic surround tub/shower combination.

The triple windows across the front offer 2 custom & private window seats resembling ancient thrones.
