There is also no lack of storage here with a large wall of custom, built-out closets. The bright bedroom faces south with views over tree-lined 21st street and the historic seminary.

This room also boasts two closets and includes your very own vented washer-dryer for added convenience.

The bathroom exudes sleek sophistication with its clean white subway tiles, chic chevron-tiled floor, and a glass-enclosed stand-up shower featuring an antique-style brass shower head, completing this stylish retreat.
