In the highly desirable Audubon Circle neighborhood, this rarely available 2 bed condo in an Arts & Crafts era building offers graceful details and incredible convenience.
The threshold of “The Versailles” is a colorful mosaic of vintage tile leading to an elevator and marble staircase to bring you to this absolutely charming second level unit. Beyond the entry coat closet, an open living and dining room boasts high ceilings, polished dark oak floors and gorgeous wood paneled walls. Decorative mantel fireplaces, floor to ceiling built-in wardrobe, and built-in china cabinet are all remarkably well preserved. The large primary bedroom, modernized with white trim, gets drenched in sunlight. A classic hexagon and subway tiled full bath is adjacent to built-in hall cabinetry providing the perfect place to store linens and more. The 2nd bedroom has access to a prized front-facing covered balcony overlooking Park Drive.
