Rejoice in finally having enough space for a dining table for large gatherings, a living room that accommodates oversized and comfortable furniture, and the perfect flow right outside to your private garden. The garden enjoys trees, perennials, and a hardscaped area created from rustic brick and bluestone with the perfect patina awaiting your outdoor dining table, grill, and lounge chairs. Head back indoors where an oversized kitchen awaits. Open to the dining area for convenience and socializing, this suburban-sized kitchen enjoys ceiling-height cabinetry that will accommodate every kitchen tool in your collection. A paneled sub-zero awaits, as do miles of granite counter space for creating real meals at home. Offering the perfect separation between public and private space, all three bedrooms are spacious with excellent closet space, and offer privacy and great light. The grand primary-bedroom in the front enjoys oversized floor-to-ceiling windows and plantation shutters for privacy. An ornamental hand-carved white marble fireplace acts as the centerpiece to this resplendent room. The two additional bedrooms both accommodate queen-sized beds or use as guest rooms and/or home offices. Two sizable full bathrooms await, one of which has recently undergone extensive renovation and includes onyx and marble mosaics and countertop and a large glass-enclosed steam shower. Your very own in-unit washer and dryer is the icing on the cake. This friendly 8-unit coop is very well maintained and offers basement storage.
