The two main bedrooms are gloriously scaled -- with room enough for en suite seating and dressing areas -- and offer enviable closet spaces (the jumbo main bedroom is a former living room, and offers a complete office gallery -- the perfect Zoom room -- and a dressing area, and mega closets!) The third bedroom is a flex space -- an ideal guest room (with integrated Murphy Bed) -- a perfect office -- a dandy den -- or a marvelous mix of all of these. High ceilings, solid Oak floors, awesome arches, and generous closet space combine with a unique, practical, stretch-out layout creating a big, happy home that is easy to live and easy to love. With prime access to every area cultural, dining, shopping, market, and fitness destination -- and equidistant to Central and Riverside Parks -- this pet friendly residence, with a plethora of easy transportation options, is a winsome choice for sure. (The pure maintenance amount is $1707.38/mo, and the ongoing assessment is $73.75/mo, making the total monthly expenses $1781.13/mo.) (Flip tax: 2% paid by buyer)
