Description

Warming by 2 fireplaces, attiring in a private dressing room, and dining by a large tree-lined modern windowed kitchen - these are daily living in this floor through 1 bedroom plus office apartment in an 1844 brownstone. Owner estimates approx. 900sf, more 2 bedroom in size than one, easily convertible. The bedroom and the large L shaped bath, both with Southern exposures, overlook private gardens, sheltered from street noise. Six expansive windows offer day-long sunlight. Boosting this apartment's appeal are many closets, attic storage, hardwood floors, high ceilings, hallway skylight and massive building renovations. All in move-in condition, just 2 stories up the wide stoop with its custom wood doors. The cul-de-sac location on the Heights' best block, just steps from the Promenade, makes it a coveted property. Cats OK, dogs on approval.
