Apartment Details
Entering from the semi-private landing, a resplendent medallion foyer welcomes you into this sprawling, lofty, designer residence. A smartly-built privacy wall with opposite-facing closet provides the perfect separation between the foyer and the grand living room. Once inside, you'll be blown away by the exceptionally sunny, loft-like living room with beamed high ceilings, large windows, incredible Eastern & Southern light, and sweeping, open views of the city and skyline. Off the living room is the spacious formal dining area, which flows seamlessly into the open gourmet kitchen. The kitchen features a sunny window and a large, custom chef's counter and breakfast bar, making it an incredible and joyous space to cook, entertain and enjoy meals with friends and relatives. Also, this kitchen features a large, vented hood, all high-end appliances, new countertops and backsplash, and extremely ample storage space via a wealth of custom cabinetry. In the kitchen and hidden inside a thoughtfully-designed closet, you'll find a brand new supersized, vented, gas washer/ dryer that is both powerful and quiet.

The outstanding and spacious primary bedroom is secluded and quiet, with oversized windows affording spectacular light & views. The room comfortably fits a king-sized bed with space for more and also features two closets, including one W.I.C. The windowed en-suite bathroom is outfitted with handmade Versace tiles, custom fixtures, double vanity, and a super-sized, glass-enclosed designer shower that will provide you with the most unforgettable and luxurious shower experience.

The second and third bedrooms are equally exceptional. The second bedroom is bright and exciting and filled with incredible light and views. This room features a large, custom closet and double French doors that provide flexibility for the space to be used as a traditional bedroom or an oversized recreation room. The windowed, ensuite bathroom is sleek and playful, with artistic designer tiles, a deep soaking tub, and a large linen closet. The third bedroom is well-proportioned and features a large closet plus a large window with excellent light. Virtually furnished
