In the thoughtful renovation of this two-bedroom, two-bathroom oasis, no expense was spared. Herringbone floors run throughout, with a large kitchen open to an expansive living room complete with foyer, full dining room, and two bathrooms clad in beautiful marble. The home can also be made into a convertible three bedroom (alternate floor plan attached).The kitchen was designed with the modern-day chef in mind, and no detail was forgone.

It also features a rare, hidden washer and dryer, which has been grandfathered into the unit.
