<p> This private residence on the second floor has two generous bedrooms and two full baths reads not as a simple apartment, but as a boutique mews that rises with quiet intention. You enter at the living level, where an open kitchen looks out across the sitting room, inviting conversation. Stainless steel appliances and generous cabinetry lend polish and practicality, while northern light filters in with a steady, flattering glow. A working fireplace anchors the space with warmth and character, and custom covered through the wall air conditioning keeps the seasons comfortably at bay.</p> <p> A proper staircase carries you to two expansive bedroom suites, each occupying its own level and each served by a full bath. As presently arranged, both are configured as en suite retreats, though either could just as effortlessly become the kind of private home office that modern life now demands. Open concept closets add a tailored ease to both floors, and the layout offers a rare elasticity.
