No area overlooked, the kitchen has been outfitted with brand new top of the line appliances. The refrigerator and microwave were even newly replaced a few months ago. The queen sized bedroom is comfy and inviting with an oversized window facing north and a custom built home office, offering both form and function.

The apartment transfers with dedicated storage in the basement and there is room for bikes too. Not to be missed, the common roof deck provides residents with stunning views of Manhattan, the ultimate setting for an evening soiree.Residents of the building benefit from a recently completed gym which is included in the maintenance. For pets, the board will allow up to two dogs with approval.
