This spacious apartment has lovely pre-war details and beautiful open tree top views and incredible light pouring in from oversized windows.
At approximately 850sqft, this apartment allows for a variety of layouts. The current owner fully renovated the apartment, including all new plumbing and electric, and creatively installed sliding frosted glass doors in the spacious living room to create a 2nd bedroom, gym, den, nursery, or a sizable home office.
This charming home offers beautiful period details throughout, such as unique inlaid floors, arched entryways, decorative molding, high ceilings, and gracious flow.
Enter into the spacious foyer with two closets, built-in original book cases, and an arched entryway and you will be met with a cozy sunken living room and open north facing views. Beyond the living space you will find a large frosted glass wall of sliding doors which creates a functional and light filled bonus room. At the heart of this home is a light-filled expansive eat-in windowed kitchen with Custom designed butcher-block dining area. The kitchen was fully renovated with beautiful cherry honed wood cabinetry, stylish open shelving, and stainless steel appliances, including a LG 5 burner heavy duty range/oven, Summit brand bottom freezer tall counter depth refrigerator, Fisher& Paykel dishwasher, and Caesarstone granite counter tops, make meal prep a breeze.
On the opposite end of the apartment is a large corner bedroom with two windows and a large double closet. A windowed bathroom was fully renovated and is in excellent condition and has been recently updated and has period-style tile work with custom design with mosaic inserts, Carrera Marble flooring, original cast iron apron bathtub, new faucet fixture and added hand held spray. The bathroom also has a Separate shower stall finished with ceramic tile and flooring including built in shelves. The Toto brand pedestal sink and Toto brand toilet add extra sophistication.
