Presumably the most unique apartment in Garden Bay Manor, this prized two-bedroom duplex condominium should not be missed. Professionally designed and well thought out, this unit features gorgeous hardwood floors, recessed lighting, split AC units in each room, and new moldings throughout. The main floor of the duplex is 851 square feet, and the attic adds an additional 300 square feet of recreational space, creating the largest unit in the entire complex. The first floor has an enormous gourmet, “U” shaped, eat-in kitchen. Featuring maple cabinetry and granite countertops, the kitchen also has a Subzero refrigerator, a double wall oven, a separate cooktop, a Bosch dishwasher, and a microwave. Both bedrooms have large closets, with the second bedroom easily acting as a formal dining room or even a large dressing room. The bathroom was recently renovated and includes a glass-enclosed tub with clay-colored subway tiles and a light mosaic tile framed window. A circular mirror, textured white tiles, and rose-gold fixtures complete the elegant look. The large living room provides plenty of space for entertaining and includes a spiral staircase leading to the attic. A legally converted attic (loft) runs the width of the apartment, offering recreational space and open views of the kitchen and living room below. It has tons of storage, with closets on either side. The structure is supported by steel beams and was approved by the condo association. Considering the opening of the attic, the unit is flooded with Eastern and Western exposures and creates cathedral-height ceilings with jaw-dropping views from above. Along with the unit comes a 200-square-foot private storage room in the basement. Perfect as a home gym or just extra storage, it also has an approved washer and dryer installed. The monthly maintenance is $662, and taxes before any abatements are $4,354. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own such a masterpiece in which no detail was overlooked or expense spared.
