The unit boasts a windowed living room and windowed kitchen, and includes king and queen sized bedrooms throughout. Each bedroom has its own large, private closet and even its own overhead cutaway storage above for suitcases and more. The square footage is ample and each bedroom's footprint easily allows for additional furniture like nightstands, a desk, or other bedroom furnishings. The oversized kitchen is truly made for a chef and features full sized, stainless steel appliances juxtaposed against an abundance of cherry-stained cabinetry and white granite countertops. In addition to the unit's interior, the building itself is also fully gut-renovated and offers picture-perfect common spaces along with an expansive and communal, furnished roof deck with panoramic views across lower Manhattan. The building maintains 24/7 video surveillance both inside and out. The entryway is well-lit day and night as a result of extra weatherproof lighting.

    "For over 20 years of living in Windsor Terrace I have witnessed People from outside the neighborhood bringing their children to Trick Or Treat alongside the kids from our neighborhood. Living in Windsor Terrace feels like living in a pedestrian friendly suburb 3 blocks away from Prospect Park and NYC living. I would move if I could find a better place to live. "
