The front door of Unit 820 opens into an open living/dining room combination, bright & airy thanks to the expansive picture window that can be seen from the galley-style kitchen. Newly-refinished wood parquet lines the floors here and throughout the condo (except the kitchen and baths), which has had a total facelift with brand-new lighting & fixtures, fresh paint and new baths and kitchen. The new professionally-designed kitchen sparkles with bright-white cabinetry and Calacatta quartz countertops, stainless-steel kitchen appliances that include Whirlpool stove, microwave and oven, and a Haier refrigerator with double freezer drawers. The deep storage drawers have soft close and lighting features, while the cabinets have under and inside lighting. The black slate-tiled flooring adds a dramatic contrast to the all-white kitchen. A hallway off the living room contains a coat closet with motion-sensor lighting, a linen closet, and a full bath with a tub/shower combination and a custom vanity topped with the same Calacatta quartz as in the kitchen. The shower surround is also lined with the marble-like quartz. The owners suite is generously-sized and features two windows on angled walls and two closets with motion-sensor lighting. The en-suite bath has the same custom vanity and tub/shower combination with Calacatta quartz, as well as a large window overlooking the gardens. The second bedroom is also good-sized, and offers a large closet and a triple picture window overlooking the park. A double-door guest closet in the entry area completes the floor plan. This stunning condo with 1,136 square feet, all the fantastic features & amenities, as well as brand-new fixtures and finishes on top of all of lifes conveniences within a stones throw is a MUST-SEE for anyone looking for comfortable and elegant city living.
