The spacious formal dining room has a big window and custom built-ins that provide lots of great storage. The living room also has big picture windows and French doors that open to the newly replaced, 1000 sq. ft. wrap terrace. With its sweeping river and city views this home offers an urban oasis for the new owner.

The windowed kitchen offers custom cabinets, granite counters, a water filter, and top appliances including a Viking stove with a griddle.

All three of the main apartment bedrooms are flooded with light and two (including the primary) have updated en-suite bathrooms.
