Offering four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a main-level powder room and an impressive four finished levels of living space, Helen pairs character with the function you want. Original architectural details, warm wood tones, leaded glass, vintage drainboard sink, carefully selected lighting and layered finishes create a sense of history and permanence that simply can’t be recreated in new construction.
