The huge master suite has 6 windows with western exposure. The bedroom is large enough for a king-size bed, a sitting area, and plenty of bedroom furniture.

The built-in digital safe is hidden to secure all your valuables.

Both bathrooms are lavishly refinished using the finest fixtures and materials. Both have full-glass shower enclosures, towel warmers, and radiant heat. The apartment features trey and coffered ceilings with gypsum crown moldings and recessed lighting. Sconces and chandeliers are all by Shamburg with Swarovski crystals. Flooring throughout is wide-plank white oak from England. All of the lacquered interior doors are by Barausse Spa, made in Italy.
