Located on the top floor, the sunny open concept living room with enough space for separate dining, overlooks the courtyard separating the main-street facing building not only grants you privacy, it’s a welcoming entrance and a place to spend quiet time away from the bustle of city living. The renovated kitchen offers a Viking range, a stainless-steel dishwasher, granite countertops, and classic black-and-white flooring. The spacious bedroom, with enough room for a king-size bed or home office, features a recently renovated en-suite bath, with a classic subway tile design.
