Broker & Buyer Comments

This "well-proportioned" post-war gem offers "excellent livability" with "generous windows" that "flood units with natural light." The "intimate" inner courtyard "feels like a private backyard," while the building's "thoughtful scale" harmoniously integrates with its surroundings, making it a "neighborhood standout."
