This place has closets for days.
The best part of this duplex living? When you’re resting in the bedrooms, there’s no one “living” above you to disturb you. Further, when you’re upstairs in your living and dining room, you won’t be bothering anyone below. It’s the kind of privacy that’s hard to come by in the city.
While it could use a little updating, the possibilities for customization and making it your own are endless. Make an appointment to see #1710 to understand the unbeatable monthly price for a spacious duplex with storage galore, a walk-in closet, breathtaking views, and ultimate peace and privacy. Welcome to the good life in the heart of the city!
