The open chef's kitchen offers an abundance of storage and counter space as well as top-of-the-line appliances, including a Viking six burner range with grill, Subzero refrigerator, Viking wine refrigerator, two Electrolux ovens and a Bosch dishwasher. In addition to bar seating in the kitchen, there is a dining area that can host parties for twenty plus guests.

Located opposite the main living area, the primary suite can easily accommodate a king-sized bed, a sitting area and additional furniture. A cavernous walk-in closet, skylight, and primary bathroom with glass enclosed shower and soaking tub complete the suite. Two secondary bedrooms are equally large with ample closets and storage space, one featuring an additional skylight. Between the bedrooms and the main living space, there is a home office with additional storage and a large media room/den, that is perfect for movie night or for additional sleeping quarters. Notable features of 2E include central air, custom built out closets and a full-sized LG washer & dryer. With just one other home on the floor, Residence 2E is accessible via key fobbed elevator.
