This chic corner apartment is located in a landmarked 1850's townhouse building in the historic district of Rutherford Place and has a "Paris meets New York" feel. A wall of original casement windows gets great light and offers eastern views of Stuyvesant Park, while the other windows look out to the 17th Street historic district. And since this apartment is situated on the second floor, you are assured of unobstructed views. This gem has been custom renovated throughout and no expense has been spared. The windowed kitchen has been creatively extended and allows for easy entertaining. It features walnut cabinetry, polished black granite countertops, and Smeg and Subzero appliances. The exquisite tiled bath features Toto and polished nickel fixtures. A generous sized bedroom easily accomodates a queen sized bed and has a large custom closet. There's also a large walk-in closet/pantry off the foyer, all adorned with Von Morris architectural hardware. The charming landmarked building is pet friendly and offers a laundry room, bike area, and storage. Conveniently located near restaurants and bustling nightlife, as well as Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and the famous Farmer's Market at Union Square. This is truly a rare find!
