Every detail radiates high style, function, and comfort: a neutral palette; espresso bamboo floors; granite; Wolf gas range, SubZero refrigerator, and vented hood (all barely used and new in 2024); rich cabinetry; and sleek fixtures including a new Serge Mouille ceiling lamp in the living room and Visual Comfort pendant in the bedroom. The vibe is effortless modern chi. Suite dreams; spa vibes; and a custom, walk-in closet await in the owner's bedroom.

Everyday delights include a full-length terrace, custom newly-automated shades, newer HVAC (2021), Bosch washer + dryer, and parking space. The sky lounge and well-appointed gym are ultra-convenient just down the hall. Green flags to look for: a theater for your Indie film screening needs; helpful concierge on duty during office hours greets service providers and guests while security comes from fob-controlled entry to the building at other times; free commercial-sized machines in the Greenbridge laundry facility for those larger items; easy mail and package collection in the mailroom off the lobby and twice-weekly collection and delivery of your dry cleaning; Google fiber; and exceptional sound insulation.
