A newly renovated kitchen boasts modern finishes and stainless steel appliances by Samsung. It also offers ample quartz countertops and cabinetry. The bathroom features a brand new medicine cabinet and vanity. The three windows of a king sized bedroom with a double closet are facing east as well, allowing you to start your days right by embracing the morning sun. You will not have to compromise on your storage needs with 5 closets at your disposal. The apartment has been freshly painted, and it features hardwood floors throughout, with newly replaced baseboards. Two in-sleeve A/C units will stay for your use.
