Maker's modernist loft perch. 2 bdrm plus private guest loft. Walk score 95.
Every cubic inch is considered as daylight explores the custom millwork and fabrication in this top floor apartment. The space feels and performs bigger than its footprint. Every corner has been tailored: shelves become ladder, window becomes bridges, secret cupboards, hand made sinks, laundry in the back hall, a convertible sun room where the attic used to be.
The open kitchen - living- dining room spans the center of the space with a bedroom on each end. The back bedroom has its own 3/4 bath. The front bedroom is across the hall from a common full bath. Additionally accessed from the central space find a guest loft and an attic storage area. one with a window and a tv. One loft is accessed by a ladder, the other by a bookshelf stair.
