Although built in 1982, the quality of the interior finishes, the well-maintained private rooftop deck, and the overall move-in ready condition with no deferred maintenance justify an excellent rating.
The property features a rare combination of an expansive private rooftop deck with sunset views and an additional private patio, offering significant outdoor space for an urban residence.

The home is move-in ready with a remodeled kitchen featuring premium Bosch appliances and tastefully updated bathrooms, blending modern luxury with functional design.
