Morningside Gardens, 70 La Salle Street, #12C

Move right in. This sun-flooded 2-bedroom home with open city views has been meticulously renovated to marry beauty and function. A proper foyer welcomes you, ushering you into the east- and north-facing great room and the exceptional kitchen. Designed for true cooks, the windowed kitchen features a Viking 5-burner gas range, 2-basin farmhouse sink, a full-sized French door Samsung refrigerator with water dispenser, and an integrated panel Whirlpool dishwasher, in addition to an under-counter microwave oven.

There is plenty of cabinetry, with space for everything, including 2 glass-front cabinets for showcasing fine china, crystal, or small works of art. In addition, the masterful renovation included thoughtful details such as under-cabinet lighting and USB ports in the kitchen outlets for true livability. Pristine white solid surface countertops set off the backsplash of Carrera marble arabesque lantern mosaic tiles.

The dining area is adjacent to the kitchen with open north views through oversized windows, and the comfortable east-facing living area is separated from the kitchen by a functional accentwall for television mounting or a showcase sideboard. The living room features a built-in surround sound system and in-wall control hub connected to a wired closet to keep all your electronics, cords, and chargeables neatly tucked away. The bathroom features contemporary fixtures with ceramic tile floors and tub surround, a Duravit soaking tub, and a spacious floating vanity. The gracious primary bedroom boasts plenty of room for a king-sized bed, a home office, nightstands, and a large chest of drawers, in addition to 2 built-out closets and oversized windows.

The second bedroom is also sizable, facing east with a built-out closet. Wide-plank wood floors in the living room and bedrooms and beautiful moldings and hardware throughout provide the finishing touches. 70 La Salle is a pet-friendly, smoke-free coop with a modern community laundry room set on the 9-acre grounds of Morningside Gardens.
