Showings should be available next weekend after the new carpet is installed. This is a clean apartment, bedroom carpets have been steam cleaned and the living room is getting new carpet. The large eat-in kitchen is freshly painted in a lovely off white called "polished marble" which looks great with the new slate vinyl flooring added during the renovation. Appliances include a Bosc dishwasher, refreshed stove with new elements, fridge, and a new deep sink with a bridge faucet which looks great against the marble tile backsplash. The bathroom has been completely renovated with a glass door new shower, toilet, vanity and lovely Harmonia Kings Star tile (in white).
