The open kitchen and living areas serve as the heart of the home featuring a wood-burning fireplace and a cozy seating area beneath the windows... perfect for bright mornings and relaxing evenings. Two generous sized bedrooms, a full bath, half bath and in-unit laundry complete the main level. Your private roof deck offers breathtaking skyline views creating the perfect backdrop for entertaining.
