Description
Live in true style with this spacious 1 bedroom/1bath that has undergone an unparalleled renovation. On a high floor with unobstructed eastern views and lots of sunlight, the minimalist vibe this 1 bedroom gives off is in part due to the tons of smart storage choices that were included in its update. Seemingly a modern, high-end condo -But no, this is actually a 1960's coop building that has also recently undergone a completed modernization of its entry, lobby and common spaces.
The large open floor plan is evident upon entering, the kitchen is spectacular, one you can truly cook in. The bleached oak cabinets with Caesarstone counters, including a huge waterfall peninsula are matched with top-of-the-line appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Miele dishwasher. The bedroom feels very zen, can accommodate a king bed and much more. In addition to the usual closets there is a wall of hidden storage the length of this 17ft room.
The bathroom is white and bright and tastefully tiled with a deep soaking tub and under-sink storage.
Each room offers unexpected luxury touches and welcome surprises including custom rift oak wall panels, and custom-made deep closets with drawers and lighting. The updated electrical also includes recessed and mood lighting with dimmers. There is wide plank bleached white oak flooring throughout. This unit is a MUST SEE.

This elevator building has recently completed a modernization of its common areas and has a central laundry, bicycle area, storage rentals, package room and parking (wait-listed).
