Style Notes
Modern retro. It’s no surprise to learn this apartment has been featured in design magazines. It sports several 1960s retro pieces and beautiful interiors. Blonde wood floors, white walls, artwork and large plants give a tranquil feel. The modern kitchen with marble countertops and fun red light shades has everything a family could need, complete with a Wolf gas range and Jura bean-to-cup coffeemaker. We love the bold lettering in the dining area, the primary suite for its size and comfort, and the rooftop terrace for views of NYC.
