The Lower Level below the first floor is currently accessible through a hatch door under the stair. It houses mechanicals and offers plenty of storage room.

The owner took a wall out decades ago, but this can easily be restored if more privacy is desired for the bedroom. Continue up to the Third Floor Master Suite and a sunny Master Bath. Natural light dances throughout the Suite, courtesy of large windows that allow you to connect with seasonal changes. In the summer, the canopy provides shade; in the winter, light floods the space; and in the spring, exuberant pink blooms grace the view. A closet above the stairs could be reconfigured to add roof access should you decide to build a private deck with stunning Rittenhouse views.
