Property Description for 570 Westminster Road, E-2
JUNIOR 1, standout studio, currently configured with a separate sleeping space, offers so much! This little gem has all the lovely pre-war elements including 9' high ceilings, distinctive archways, parquet and hardwood floors, and a spacious eat-in kitchen. The kitchen has been modernized with stainless appliances including dishwasher, cabinet depth refrigerator, and a 5-burner stove. The old world feeling still lives on in its refurbished original cabinetry which provides abundant storage and blends well with the farm sink and other new cabinets and countertops. This kitchen has an added feature of a wonderful custom cantilevered kitchen table created out of beautiful bubinga wood which has convenient electrical sockets for easy access. In addition there is a bench with storage located below the seats.
The entry foyer (currently functions as a home office) opens into the well proportioned living room and adjacent sleeping area. The living room and sleeping area are separated by two built in bookcases with an architect designed Japanese style, Shoji sliding doors. The area is illuminated with two overhead Arts and Craft style lamps. The bathroom has been fully renovated but still possesses the large art deco cast iron tub for great long soaks. This unit is bright and sunny year-round, thanks to the high floor location and southern exposure.
