You won't have to get rid of all your stuff, or worry about if your couch will fit, this condo has plenty of storage and expansive living spaces. Bathed in light from the southern and eastern exposures, the unit's floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the elegance of its tastefully crafted interior. One of the rare units that includes a gas fireplace. The current owners did a complete no expense spared, overhaul of this entire unit. A custom designed primary bath by Mark Menna Designs includes: a heated floor, spa like shower, custom cabinetry, spacious double vanity, and customized California Closets in the bedroom. The gourmet kitchen was designed to be ADA friendly and offers top of the line appliances, an island with seating, built-in desks and slate floors.
