A gracious entry foyer provides a welcoming sense of space upon arrival, while the generously sized main living area offers high ceilings and excellent flexibility for both sleeping and entertaining. There is ample room to comfortably accommodate a bed with nightstands, a desk or workspace, a sofa and coffee table, as well as a dining area-allowing you to create distinct living, sleeping, working, and dining zones without sacrificing comfort.

The co-op allows up to 80% financing. Subletting is permitted after one year of ownership for up to three out of every six years. Guarantors are permitted, and pets are welcome with board approval.
