How about real independence ? Not just on Independence Day but year-round. ** Financial independence, as in no monthly maintenance or common charges because our taxes are so low and the self-contained downstairs apartment pays for them and all utilities combined !! Also check out our newly reduced, very competitive price point. ** Manhattan noise independence. Our townhouse sits on a very quiet stretch of the Upper Westside tucked away from typical avenue commercial vehicle and foot traffic, deliveries, trash pick-up. Rush hour here is non-existent.

Our private Penthouse retreat features sky-lit enclosed atrium, two terraces, Viking BBQ, and bar. and that's just the top floor ! ** Construction independence.
