Inside, the home unfolds across four full floors plus a cellar, with layouts that are both practical and adaptable.

The footprint alone provides an excellent foundation for a refined owner's residence.

The fourth floor mirrors this sense of openness, offering another one-bedroom with a standout walk-in closet that adds to its appeal.
