Custom concealed cabinetry was designed to make the most of storage and square footage, and is beautifully complemented by a bespoke single slab Carrera Ora marble backsplash. A suite of top-of-the-line appliances by Miele, Liebherr and Wolf round out the offerings in this impeccably conceived kitchen. Both bedrooms are substantial and feature south-facing views through large, CitiQuiet windows, as well as plenty of closet space.
