Listing Notes
This charming two-bedroom, one-bathroom residence perfectly blends historic industrial character with modern style, featuring a large open living and dining area defined by a stunning floor-to-ceiling exposed brick wall and warm hardwood floors. Sunlight pours through multiple oversized windows, illuminating a thoughtfully designed interior with crown molding, recessed lighting, and large closets throughout for ample storage. Both bedrooms offer a peaceful retreat with continued brick accents and generous proportions that easily fit queen-sized beds and home office setups. The separate kitchen is equipped with rich wood cabinetry and stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, while the crisp, all-white bathroom provides a clean and functional aesthetic. Situated in a prime location less than a block from Central Park, the home is moments away from the Museum of Natural History and some of the best dining the city has to offer, including the iconic Levain Bakery.
