The impeccably renovated three-bedroom, two-bath flat has its own private courtyard entry. With 1,448 square feet of living space, this large and open terrace level residence enjoys three exposures, and the fanlight entrance leads to a slate foyer and huge main living area with gleaming floors, deep-set windows, thick molding and other rich details. The remodeled kitchen has been opened up to the dining area, with high-end stainless steel appliances including a large 3-door fridge, pendant lighting, mosaic backsplash and dark granite counters that contrast beautifully with the glass and white wood cabinets. The carpet in the three bedrooms and hallways is brand new. Both bathrooms have been renovated, one with granite vanity and frameless shower and the other with marble vanity, soaking tub and subway tiles. Each bedroom closet has a custom organizer, as does the front coat closet. Intriguing built-ins, designer fixtures, front-loading washer & dryer, one parking space and extra storage all add to the appeal!
