The place
A two-bedroom corner unit on the 27th floor of a high-rise tower in Yorkville.
The history
The seller—who is a dentist—poured $60,000 into renovations. He added engineered hardwood floors, Sonos speakers in every room and a barn door for the second bedroom. He’s moving into a bigger unit elsewhere in the building.
Here’s the entry:
The kitchen has granite countertops:
There’s direct balcony access from the master bedroom:
Here’s the master ensuite:
The second bedroom is set up as an office:
Big selling point
This is a corner unit, so there are two walls of nine-foot, floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room. Plus, the two bedrooms are on opposite ends of the space, meaning plenty of privacy for a family.
Possible deal breaker
The balcony doesn’t run the full length of the unit, and it’s on the narrow side. But the building has a shared rooftop garden, complete with barbecues.
