The corner master suite is blissfully private, surrounded by your private terrace- truly a retreat from the city beyond. With ample room for large scale furnishings, featuring an inviting Park view seating area, three closets, and a luxurious, windowed en-suite bathroom, brilliant sunlight, peace and quiet.
