THE VIEWS WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY! TRUE 4-BED 3-BATH CONDO!

This grand home has it all – location, space and views! It is in a class by itself and will appeal to savvy buyers, as it is well priced to sell today.

Enjoy breathtaking sunsets framed in oversized double pane wrap-around windows facing North, East and West. This expansive 2,319 sq. ft., 4-bedroom 3-bath has it all. The windowed fourth bedroom with open city views can flex as your office or den, as it was intelligently designed to increase space and efficiency.

Cross the threshold and be greeted by a dramatic foyer whose walls are graced with beautiful marmorino plaster tastefully custom made by the current owner who also designed the beautiful gold leaf plated entryway door. Deep closets and a classy powder room with custom made venetian plaster walls provide the finishing touches at the entry. From the foyer, migrate to a spacious dining room perfect for entertaining, and which flows into a bright 19′ × 18′ living room surrounded by walls of windows that showcase incredible open views.

If you believe the heart of the home is the kitchen, you won’t be disappointed by this TRUE windowed eat-in kitchen seating 8, boasting BRAND NEW cabinetry, Viking stainless steel appliances, including a wine refrigerator and significant counter space. Through a cozy dressing area, find a massive master bedroom with more city views and an en-suite bathroom with double vanity, a SOK tub, essentially a Jacuzzi and personal sized infinity pool hybrid, and a rain shower.

Your new home features a full size vented Bosch washer/dryer, strategically placed pocket doors to increase privacy, beautiful cherry, wide plank sound-insulated hard wood floors, 10-ft. ceilings, custom made venetian plaster walls throughout the apartment, and closets galore.
