Once considered a state-of-the-art candy-making facility, the building was converted into condos a little over a decade ago.
The current owners spent over a million dollars on a sophisticated renovation of the 4,000-square-foot space that blends prewar elements and stylish modern updates.
An ornate chandelier attracts attention in the dining room.
“Everything was well thought out,” said listing agent Ignacio Cesped of Elegran.
There are wide windows, cast-iron columns and exposed brick throughout, elevated by European oak floors, stylish wallpaper and modern, artistic lighting. There is plenty of wall space to hang artwork.
Design details include exposed brick, European oak floors and stylish wallpaper.
The apartment has 11-foot plaster ceilings and a 38-foot-wide great room with a floating fireplace that creates two large seating areas, one of which has a wet bar and space for a small dining nook. This space is currently occupied by two semicircular sofas that echo the building’s past.
A separate living room features a flat-screen TV and built-in speakers.
The main room is flooded with light from tall windows and opens up to a large dining room that currently fits a table that seats up to eight people. This leads to a modern kitchen with a marble-topped center island and dark blue Shaker-style custom cabinets, along with Miele and Viking stainless-steel appliances.
There are three en-suite bedrooms plus another bedroom currently being used as an office.
Along with the great room, there’s a separate living room that has a flat-screen TV and built-in speakers.
The separate laundry/mud room in the apartment spans more than 300 square feet and comes with an area for washing pets, which Cesped notes is a great amenity in the dog-friendly neighborhood.
The bedrooms are large and fit plenty of furniture, including dressers, desks and seating areas.
