It is a room that instantly captures the atmosphere and charm of the building. The generous main bedroom draws in northern light and features an original fireplace and built in robes, while the second bedroom offers a peaceful and restful retreat. The central bathroom is beautifully finished with a deep soaker tub, separate shower, modern styling and a subtle nod to the buildings era. Polished floorboards, intercom entry, European laundry and a secure car space add the perfect finishing touches.
