This bright and spacious 5 room apartment has been totally renovated. It is in MINT condition. The layout is gracious and includes a long entry foyer which opens to a large gallery creating an elegant first impression. All the rooms are generously sized and the east-west exposures provide all day sun light regardless of the season!

There are split bedrooms to insure privacy and the master has a separate dressing area. The bathrooms have all new fixtures, tile and lighting. New crown moldings and baseboards were installed throughout the apartment. The custom built enclosures surrounding the new energy-efficient HVAC units in the living room and master bedroom provide excellent storage. Another top-of-the- line energy efficient HVAC unit was also installed in the guest bedroom. Closet space is more than ample. 5 of the 6 closets, including a walk-in, are "fitted" by California Closets. The wood floors have been sanded, stained and polished to perfection.

The windowed kitchen has been opened to the dining room and is a chef's dream. It includes a Liebherr stainless steel refrigerator, double deep stainless steel sink, Bosche dishwasher and professional-grade, outside vented, stainless steel Bertazzoni range and oven. There is also an outside vented Bosch washer and dryer.  A convenient separate service entrance in the kitchen leads to a recycling area and the service elevator.
