Direct Hudson River views create a divine backdrop for this equally stunning light-filled 2 Bedroom. This home feels fresh and inviting from the moment you enter. The gracious dining foyer opens to a grand living room overlooking the Hudson River, GWB and Palisades beyond while over-sized windows invite glorious light and cross breeze all day long. The tastefully renovated kitchen features white shaker-style cabinetry, quartz counters with ceramic tile back splash, stainless appliances and a picture-perfect view of the GWB. The king-sized corner Master bedroom floods with afternoon light while offering 2 large closets, double exposure and enough space for that additional office. The view here magically captures the Little Red Lighthouse at the foot of the GWB. Separating the sunny second bedroom and Master is the bathroom where you can unwind at day’s end with a long bath in your deep soaking tub. Throughout are hardwood floors, electrical upgrades, nicely skim-coated walls, custom radiator covers, 9 ft ceilings, 6 uncommonly generous closets and the most breathtaking sunsets you could dream of.
