Welcome to apartment 4E at the Opera, where pre-war charm, elegant renovations and PRIVATE OUTDOOR SPACE live in perfect harmony. This serene two bedroom home hasnt been on the market in over a decade! Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully modernized, this oasis offers a desirable layout with winged bedrooms, a spacious living room, two full and newly renovated bathrooms, as well as a stunning open chefs kitchen with gorgeous stone countertops, stainless appliances and custom cabinetry which is adjacent to a proper dining area for an intimate dinner party or a peaceful meal at home.
