About this listing

Welcome to the Belgravia condominiums, where old world charm seamlessly blends with sophisticated city living. You’ll feel the grandeur of the building immediately as you step into the stunning Beaux Arts marble lobby, complete with stained glass windows, and are greeted by the welcoming round-the-clock front desk staff. From the lobby, take the elegant brass elevators and enter residence 705, a gorgeously maintained and thoughtfully updated 2 bed, 2.5 bath home. You’ll instantly feel at home as you step in and notice the welcoming grass cloth wallpaper in the foyer, gleaming oakwood floors, and open living area. The heart of the home, the living-dining area lined with tall windows and patio access is warm and bright, walls covered in Cowtan and Tout linen fabric. Solar shades allow you to adjust and filter the light that streams in from the expansive eastern views. Perfect for entertaining, the living and dining rooms featuring a Katherine Chandelier and updated recessed lighting connect the natural stone breakfast bar to the open kitchen, with shaker cabinets, sleek granite countertops, and stainless- steel appliances, including a recently installed Samsung Refrigerator. All rooms include updated recessed lighting with dimmers and the spacious closets have dedicated light switches.
