ABOUT THE APARTMENT
This Manhattan apartment is a thoughtfully designed 940 sq ft residence with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, located in the heart of the city.
Despite its compact footprint, the layout feels open and well-balanced, with clear zoning between private and shared areas. Large windows bring in natural daylight, enhancing the calm, airy atmosphere throughout the apartment.
