The main living area has floor-to-ceiling windows framing wide views of the eastern skyline, making the space feel expansive. High ceilings and hardwood flooring run throughout, connecting the different zones of the home. In the kitchen, you will find flat-panel cabinetry paired with a speckled terrazzo-style backsplash and white quartz counters. This cooking space is equipped with integrated Bosch appliances, including a smooth-top range and a French-door refrigerator that blends into the cabinetry. A small dining nook with a built-in bench is tucked just off the kitchen, creating a dedicated spot for meals. Moving into the bedroom, the large windows continue, offering a private look at the city from the king-sized bed. The en-suite bathroom features a double vanity with matte black hardware and a deep charcoal-tiled wall that stretches to the ceiling. Beyond the unit, the building provides a rooftop pool with private cabanas, a professional-grade fitness center with TRX trainers, and a residents' lounge.
