Description

Sunny, serene and sophisticated!
Sun-filled windows across every room overlook treetops and the surrounding greenery.
From the outset, this smart mid-century modern–styled foyer sets the stage for the excellent design of the entire apartment. Throughout, form continues to follow function. This spacious entryway allows room for a curated seating & console vignette, balancing the space while maximizing utility with two generously sized closets (coat & storage). This layout creates a graceful transition from the entrance into the bright, open living room, where serenity resides.
This expansive living room unfolds with remarkable flexibility, offering four distinct areas to entertain, dine, work or simply unwind as sunlight fills the room.
The dining room, as it is now, is ideally set for the golden hour and while sunlight casts about throughout the day, it is exceptionally stunning at sunset!
Naturally, the sun continues to sweep in through the massive kitchen window, illuminating a fully equipped, thoughtfully updated kitchen defined by plentiful storage and streamlined counter and cabinet space.
The spa-like marble bath sparkles and shines as sunlight glistens across botanical views beyond the window.
This enormous bedroom fits a king-sized bed set, has a wall of windows with multiple exposures, a wall of full closets and room to spare- indeed there’s a perfect place to curl up with good book and watch the afternoon go by…
This Jr. 4 can be a converted 2 BR, as other B lines have done, if you so desire…otherwise you can just luxuriate in the gracious spacious sprawling apartment as it is presently!

Take advantage of the private outdoor spaces available to residents, including a captivating furnished roof deck with panoramic views and a beautiful botanical leafy garden- a serene repspite...
