Any discerning chef will be thrilled with the oversized kitchen featuring top-of-the-line appliances including a Viking six-burner professional range with double oven, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine refrigerator. Custom cabinets run floor to ceiling, with glass fronts above and open shelving below, set against white subway tile and wood counters. There is a farmhouse sink and a built-in window seat with storage underneath.
The corner bedroom easily accommodates a king-sized bed with East and North faciong windows, two large closets, and custom built-ins. The windowed bathroom is finished in prewar style with Waterworks fixtures, classic subway tile, pedestal sink and a mosaic floor.
