A bold kitchen is loaded with dishwasher and in-unit washer/dryer. An oversized living room graciously opens to a balcony. Roof-top deck, bike storage and 20 years of tax abatements, too, spell winning!
Here’s a head-turner at HERO. This Arte-Moderne skyscraper offers 109 units over 22 sleek stories, including this perfect little 1-bedroom. It features an open kitchen with breakfast bar and a sexy bathroom with a floating double-sink vanity. The smart design includes a foyer entry with closet and an in-unit washer/dryer.
