The window has eastern exposure and looks toward the interior of the building.

Across the hall from the bedroom, you will find the shared living room with a stately environment. Here, contemporary chandeliers hang from the ceiling as scattered armchairs incorporate a vintage feel. There is a sitting area and an elegant long dining table. Large windows take up most of one wall and allow natural light to flood the room.
