It hosts 2 spacious bedrooms, and 1 bath with an abundance of great storage closets additionally. The entry to the building is formal, and elegant in stature as well as spacious representing the period of glamour that was present in the 20's. As you follow the double doors to the stairwell, you are carried to the top floor, where sun drenches the apartment, and is set back from the street at the center of the courtyard. The architecture is Tudor Revival and includes crown moldings, arched entries, two stunning skylights; one in the kitchen, and the other in the living room where the cove molded ceilings decorate the room, along with the period decorative fireplace. The apartment space flows beautifully and feels more spacious than the square footage indicates.
