Description

OPEN HOUSE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

This spacious duplex has been thoughtfully designed with everything you look for in a gracious home - large sunny rooms with open views, custom built-ins for plentiful storage and display, a laundry room, basement storage, and a private roof deck. Every detail in this apartment was lovingly designed by an interior designer, who also made sure that the space was family friendly.

Upon entering this apartment on the 2nd floor, you'll find a bright open living room with custom built furnishings and built-ins framing the gas fireplace. The large eat-in kitchen features 2 large windows with open views of brownstone backyards. The master bedroom features soaring high ceilings with an entire wall of custom wardrobe storage. The 2nd bedroom is of an equally generous size and has built-in bookcases to make sure that you always have somewhere to put your things. Upstairs, there's a small terrace, that can be expanded since the apartment comes with full roof rights. The storage in the basement is shared with just one other unit and encompasses the entire space. Low monthlies make this home an attainable dream.
