The south-facing suite gets lots of light through its three lace-clad windows, which overlook a garden and terrace. The quiet studio suite is positioned in the rear part of the building. The beautiful oak parquet floors, the imposing marble fireplace, and the 10-foot ceilings all contribute to the expansive quality of the room. A large area rug, a bureau, an antique armoire, and a round dining table with chairs complete the suite’s furnishings.

The Rear Library also includes a compact kitchen with a microwave, toaster, regular ovens, a stove, a coffee maker, sink, and full-size refrigerator. The en-suite bathroom is the most recently renovated in the entire townhouse and consists of a just-rebuilt tiled shower, pedestal sink, and toilet.
