The private bedroom wing features three oversized south-facing bedrooms, each bathed in sunlight and enjoying beautiful city views. All can comfortably accommodate king-sized beds along with additional furnishings. A fourth bedroom, currently situated off the kitchen with the possiblity to have its own en-suite bathroom, provides the perfect guest suite, home office, or staff room.

The windowed kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, storage, and workspace, while endless closets and storage solutions can be found throughout the home. Additional highlights include a vented in-unit washer and dryer, exceptional closet space, and the rare privacy of a semi-private floor landing.
