Welcome to Apartment 5-E at the John James Condominium.

The John James is a beautiful pre-war building and 5-E was recently gut renovated with new hardwood floors, recessed lighting, custom closets throughout, all new electric, plumbing, kitchen, and bathrooms. When you enter the apartment, you are greeted with an extra wide foyer perfect as a combination space of mudroom, with ample room for multiple bookcases and even a writing desk.
