The luxurious primary suite spans the entire upper level and features a spacious open sitting area with a wood burning fireplace overlooking the dramatic living room below and a huge walk-in closet. The primary 5 piece bathroom is a tranquil retreat, complete with an oversized glass-enclosed steam shower, dual vanities, and a deep soaking tub. With remarkable scale, proportion, and architectural integrity, this home is perfectly suited for sophisticated urban living and entertaining. With a total of 13 residences, The Musical Fund Hall offers terrific privacy, security, and architectural distinction -- all with super low condo fees! This is an unmatched opportunity to live within a nationally recognized historic landmark—where timeless architecture, cultural significance, and modern luxury coexist seamlessly. The hall has hosted many notable speakers and events, including the first Republican National Convention from June 17 to 19, 1856.
