Located on an elevated 1st floor in a pristine prewar building you will find a true turn-key apartment that faces the back garden ensuring privacy, quiet and lush garden views. Everything has been upgraded: electrical, plumbing, floors, walls the list goes on. No detail was overlooked when designing this home.
Upon entering the apartment you are welcomed by a cozy foyer and coat closet leading the way to an airy living area bathed in soft sunlight streaming in from oversized windows overlooking the tranquil garden.
The owners have remastered the kitchen. Walls were removed to allow for a large peninsula outfitted with quartz countertops, the addition of custom cabinetry for ample storage, and a charming farmhouse sink. High-end stainless steel appliances including a Bertazzoni gas range and microwave and a Liebherr refrigerator make a perfect space for dining and hosting guests.
The windowed bathroom has also been thoughtfully designed. It has been rebuilt with Carrera marble floor tiles, threshold, window sill and shower. The bathroom also features custom glass shower doors, a new vanity, toilet, medicine cabinet and light fixtures.
Continuing down a hallway lined with extra deep floor to ceiling closets, you will find a serene Queen-sized bedroom where you can sleep with the windows open and all you'll hear is birds singing in the tranquil garden.
