I have spent my career painstakingly recreating a lost elegance and grandness, while at the same time creating modern apartment homes of a quality which are seldom if ever available in rental homes. If you are looking for an apartment community feel, this is NOT it. This is a private boutique apartment building which will feel like home when you drive up, and when you live here. This particular apartment took about six months to create! Yes, I know that's a long time for one apartment, but wait until you see it. The apartment was fully gutted right down to the bricks and floor boards. Creating an apartment this way gives me the opportunity to provide FIOS high speed internet service, abundant recessed lighting, outlets everywhere, and to fully insulate, walls, ceiling and floors! The building has a completely secured entrance, with a two way intercom, door release for your guests, and has a keyless entry system, so there will be no fumbling with keys. The property has a large mail kiosk capable of accepting US Postal service packages and a large volume of personal mail. All exterior building lights are on sensors, including the main front porch.
