The owner's suite features a spacious bedroom with lofted ceiling, a walk-in closet, and a generous owners bathroom with large frameless glass and tile shower, and double vanities. Accessible through the 3rd-floor study, the tour of the house culminates at the top of a dramatic spiral staircase to a large fiberglass rooftop with 360' views, including Center City.
