Why You’ll Love It…
If you’re not into the idea of one giant room serving as an entryway, dining area, living room and kitchen, then this is the apartment for you. Everything has a designated space, but the rooms all flow into one another thanks to large, open archways. Enter the unit through a foyer with a large closet, and then step into a space that would work great as a dining area. Alternatively, you could turn it into a home office space. Through this room you can enter the living room, which has two west-facing windows.
The kitchen is located off of the living room through another archway and a two-seater breakfast bar. Not only does the kitchen also have a window, but it’s decked out with full-size appliances, including a dishwasher. There’s also plenty of cabinet space for storage.
Like the kitchen, the bathroom is also windowed. And there’s a full wall of cabinetry — the perfect spot to store linens and toiletries — in addition to a built-in hamper. The large bedroom is located near the bathroom. You’ll find another closet in this room, plus one north-facing and one south-facing window. It should be easy to fit furniture such as nightstands or dressers into this room, in addition to a king-sized bed.

… And Why You Might Not
Although there are lots of windows throughout the unit, you likely won’t get a lot of light in the dining area, which doesn’t have any windows. Aside from that one drawback, there isn’t a lot to nitpick about this one. Be sure to shortlist it if you’re looking to buy in the area!
