Broker & Buyer Comments

This "boutique" residence offers "exclusive" floor layouts with just two units per floor, featuring "loft-like" two-bedroom configurations. "Protected park views" from every unit make this an "enviable address" in an "ascending neighborhood" that's drawing increasing attention.
