Description

Fall in love with timeless beauty at The Cherokee The moment you step into this turnkey 1BR you will notice the fabulous sunlight, pre war details, and timeless beauty that make this apartment so unique!

There is a separate eat-in kitchen with a beautiful sunny east exposure and access to one of the two private balconies adorning this unit. The kitchen has been nicely renovated with stainless steel appliances, subway tiles, and Corian counter-tops.

There is ample cabinet storage as well as a built in pantry. The living-room is bright and sunny with the same triple sashed oversized floor to ceiling window, and access to the second, larger balcony. The bedroom is literally “fit for a king” sized bed. There are three windows, two exposures (south and east) and ample closet space. Take one step in and you will fall in love! Floorplan coming soon. Washer/Dryer can be added to the apartment, but there is a central laundry room for your convenience. The neighborhood is unparalleled.
