About This Home

As of July 2016

This corner, front facing penthouse sits above Washington Square and is within short walking distance to shopping, great restaurants, is close to parks and playgrounds, and is served by the Runkle school. This bright and sunny home has a recently renovated kitchen which opens to a charming living room with period wainscoting and a leaded glass cabinet. The first of the three bedrooms is whimsically hand painted with scenes from "The Little Prince". The second bedroom is large enough be the master and is currently being used as a home office. The master bedroom has generous proportions and could be used as a family room if three bedrooms aren't needed. There is an updated tiled bath and in-unit laundry. Private storage area in the basement. One transferable rented space is available. Showings begin at first open house on Friday 6/17 from 4:30 - 6:00.
