    Penthouse Dream Perched on the top floor, this corner penthouse with 386 sq foot private terrace brings together light, space, and thoughtful design in a way that feels both elevated and effortless. Apartment PH16 is a true two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with north and west exposures, offering open skies, all-day natural light, and rare privacy with only three residences on the wing. Renovated in 2021 and meticulously maintained by its sole owner, it is completely move-in ready. The kitchen is built for both daily living and entertaining, featuring Viking appliances, a paneled Thermador refrigerator with ice maker, quartz countertops, a custom backsplash, and a large island with storage on both sides and bar seating. Modern pendant lighting completes the space. The living room is open and refined, highlighted by over nine-foot ceilings, warm hardwood floors, custom sconce lighting, and a built-in television niche. Both bedrooms are well separated for privacy and flexibility, complemented by custom closet systems and a deep hallway closet for added storage. Comfort is seamless with central air and heat, a two-zone climate system, and a full-size Electrolux vented washer and dryer. The oversized corner terrace truly sets this home apart, complete with lighting, electricity, landscaped planters, and green roof tiles. With outdoor dining and lounge furniture already in place, it serves as a turnkey extension of the living space. The Aurum itself is a full-service building boasting a modern, crisp lobby, two large elevators, impressive common areas, and thoughtfully designed hallways. Your amenity package includes a gorgeous penthouse-level gym, community room, roof deck with outdoor seating and built-in gas grills, plus convenient bike storage.
