Both bedrooms have been outfitted with much needed black-out shades and are nicely separated allowing for ultimate privacy. The tastefully renovated bathroom features a marble vanity and Jacuzzi tub. The special indulgence however may just be the Miele washer/dryer! City-quiet windows, H/W floors and crown molding throughout, recessed lighting, electrical upgrades, 9 ft ceilings and uncommonly generous closets round out this perfect picture.
