Step through the front door to find original terrazzo flooring throughout all common areas, including the kitchen, creating a timeless and durable finish. The kitchen underwent a full renovation in 2019 and showcases granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances—including refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and double oven range—all updated in 2023.
