Description
This converted 2 bedroom apartment with a smart layout is in excellent condition, with a large living room, a spacious bedroom, a smaller 2nd bedroom, a new kitchen with a separate windowed dining room and a large foyer. The kitchen is in great shape: with white shaker cabinets, stainless appliances including a dishwasher & microwave, abundant quartz counters and also features a window with ample natural light from the eastern exposure and subway backsplash. The kitchen has been opened up a bit for a more natural flow into the separate dining space that also has an eastern facing window. The apartment boasts impressive, high end built-ins made with antique, repurposed wood, including a state-of-the-art home office: forget about cluttered cables and take your productivity to a higher level.
This high floor unit brings in plenty of natural light any time of day from its eastern and treetop western views. Layouts like this one are rare.
The bathroom offers neutral finishes, with subway tile shower surround, reglazed tub, a new vanity and fixtures. The main bedroom showers in natural light and can fit a king-sized bed. The current owners added a tasteful wall of closets there, in addition to the two existing ones, for all of your storage needs. There are hardwood floors throughout, and the closet space can't be beat. The condition and cleanliness of this apartment are such that you can literally open the entrance door, bring in your furniture and start enjoying it from day one. It is truly a rare find.
This well-maintained elevator building has strong financials and a high owner occupancy, live-in super, central laundry, bike room, additional storage (waitlisted), and a a waitlisted indoor garage.
Location is unbeatable: Prime Kensington, with quick access to the ever changing shopping and dining landscapes of Cortelyou Corridor.
