It's a real crowd-pleaser, with stylish bedrooms, a charming living room and an open kitchen and dining area begging for group dinners.

Stepping inside, you'll find original features mixed with contemporary design for that added modern comfort – from the ornate fireplace to the sleek chef's kitchen, screened dining area and freestanding bathtub. The living room benefits from high ceilings and a bay window that bathes the space in natural sunlight, so you can kick back and relax after a day of sightseeing. When it's time to head out, it's well worth exploring the local area in sought-after Morningside.
