The kitchen has been beautifully designed with handsome wood cabinetry and drawers custom-made to provide endless storage places. It is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and custom backsplash. The large bedroom with two Northern-exposed windows offers complete privacy and the ample, windowed bathroom has been modernized with updated fixtures and classic subway tile while retaining its vintage, reglazed bathtub. Large closets, including one walk-in, offer abundant areas for storage.
And finally, an affordable monthly maintenance makes this a highly attractive investment for the discerning buyer.
