Welcome to this barely lived-in 2 Bedroom, 2.5 Bathroom condo spanning 1,628 square feet, offering triple exposures and dramatic views in every direction — South, East, and West, all within a cozy and inviting atmosphere. As you whisk your way up to the 25th floor and onto a semi-private elevator landing, you’ll immediately feel a sense of privacy upon entering 25B, further enhanced by the grand entry foyer which creates an ideal buffer from the outside and the rest of the home. This space displays the practical functionality of the home and includes a coat closet, powder room, and superb wall space for displaying art. Next, you’ll be drawn into a spacious living room spanning a remarkable 32-ft in length and boasting 9-ft high-ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that evoke a feeling of awe, inspiration, and relaxation. A built-in warm hue wood bookshelf adds an undeniable touch of warmth and sophistication and ties in perfectly with the Brazilian walnut floors that you’ll find throughout. A natural flow connects the living room to the corner dining area, offering serene Southwest vistas and picturesque sunset views down “Billionaires Row”. Adjacent to this space is the thoughtfully designed eat-in kitchen featuring high-quality finishes including Viking appliances, fine oak cabinetry, Pietra di Bedonia stone floors and countertops, making this suitable for cooking and casual dining. The thoughtfully designed living and entertaining areas of the home embrace a contemporary open concept while offering the allure of a traditional home, providing the best of both worlds. The first of two bedrooms boasts an en-suite bath and has the versatility to be used as a den or library by simply opening the grand double doors, a shrewd modification that was done by the current owner. Southern sunlight bathes this bedroom with a serene ambiance while the primary bedroom also benefits from an additional Southeast exposure, with views “above it all”. Generously sized, the primary bedroom includes abundant storage, including a walk-in closet, and a windowed bathroom with waterworks fixtures, a deep soaking tub, and separate stall shower. Additional amenities within the residence comprise a vented Washer/Dryer, multi-zone heating and cooling equipped with Nest thermostats, and a private storage unit measuring 3 × 3 × 7.
