We are pleased to offer this incredible 1,309 SF, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home located in a converted 20th century Beaux-arts schoolhouse boutique condominium. Wonderfully reimagined using the highest quality materials, Residence 2C features soaring 13-foot ceilings, massive casement windows, black walnut wide plank wood floors, and custom door hardware and light fixtures by design firm Avro|KO. The spacious and bright southern-facing living space features a wall of dramatic and oversized windows. The unit is in the rear of the building and is quiet and protected from street noise. An open kitchen includes a suite of appliances by Viking, including a wine refrigerator, and a farmhouse sink with garbage disposal. Timeless material selections here include Soapstone countertops, a marble backsplash, custom walnut millwork, and brass hardware.

A mobile island completes the kitchen. A central hallway leads to a luxurious primary bedroom that easily accommodates a king-sized bed and features a massive custom built walk-in closet. An elegantly designed en suite primary bathroom is outfitted with grey cement tile radiant-heated flooring, glazed ceramic tile walls, a custom Avro|KO designed double vanity with Calacatta Gold marble counters, Watermark fixtures, and blackened steel framed medicine cabinets.

Just across the hall is the tiled secondary bath with a walnut and marble vanity with an additional walnut medicine cabinet. The unit has a graciously sized laundry room with a Bosch washer and dryer and a supply closet. Modern amenities include two zone central air conditioning and automated shades. There is spacious storage throughout the apartment, including a wall of built-in closets in the entry foyer. An additional large private storage unit in the cellar conveys with the sale. Re-envisioned from its original use as a 20th century public schoolhouse, The Inkwell is a collection of 18 condominiums refined for 21st century living. The building has an attended lobby from 8am to 8pm as well as a virtual doorman, super, laundry room, bike storage, and private storage.
