Apartment 301 is a neat 1-bedroom on the third floor – toward front of property, so it has a nice street view below, as well as looking across the valley at the trees on the hillside behind the neighboring buildings – probably the nicest view of any apartment in the building. This apartment has a really open-feel living space featuring some beautiful architecture – 4 large windows with deep sills spread across the Living Area and 4 tall, skinny windows in the bedroom, a high ceiling (~10 feet in most places), plus an old doorway and transom window above, which goes through a thick masonry wall and lots of old wood wainscoting throughout the apartment. There is about 550-570 square feet of living space and there is wall-to-wall carpet everywhere except kitchen and bath (vinyl). A coat closet right next to the front door offers hanging space plus floor space and a shelf above. Walking in past the coat closet, the ceiling rises above the living room and the huge windows dominate the look of the place. Though it’s not a large apartment, it feels big due to the sheer volume of the room plus the brightness from the 85square feet of glass. By the way, this apartment doesn’t get any direct sun except for mid-morning, yet it remains bright most of the time. Being on the third floor, it does get hotter in the summer than some other apartments, but in the winter the heat all rises up here…
The ‘Tower Bedroom’ is about 11×14, with those 4 cool windows, 2 of which face north, and 2 of which face East for morning light- but not too early because of trees/building next door. Once inside the BR, it feels very separate from the living space, but it’s right next to it. There is a nice size closet at one end of the bedroom with about 6-feet of hanging space and the floor space below for storage and about some shelving (1-ft wide) above the hanging rod. A more recent addition was another closet behind the door, with some hanging rods and shelves for easy access to everyday wear.
The kitchen is right off the living area, and a recent renovation has opened up the wall so that it feels more like part of the apartment, instead of being a separate room. It has decent counterspace and a good amount of cabinet space, a full stove/range plus a dishwasher and fridge, and enough outlets for all your food prep gizmos. Two small countertops cover the half-walls that divide the kitchen from the dining area, and one may serve as a breakfast bar or just more storage.
Bath is a tub/shower, a newer toilet and sink -pretty simple – just what you need, not much extra. A vinyl floor that matches the kitchen makes for easy cleanup. All colors in this apartment are relatively neutral – any color furniture will go just fine.
