The windowed kitchen features sleek custom cabinetry, a dishwasher, and a coveted in-unit washing machine. A long, generous hallway - a convenient place for additional storage - links the apartment from the front door to the bedrooms which are conveniently situated in the rear of the building for peaceful slumbers. Two good-sized bedrooms share the windowed, renovated bathroom with a shower/tub combo. The primary bedroom has two windows and room for a king-sized bed, night tables, dressers and a double closet.

Sorry, no subletting.  The Neo-Georgian-style Colonials were designed by George H. Wells and built in 1915. They have the distinction of being America’s first cooperative conversion in 1920.
