The first floor, houses a one-bedroom apartment boasting high ceilings and open layout concept with a corner L-shaped kitchen.

The lower level of this unit, presently utilized as a recreational room and storage area for the upper triplex, can readily be transformed into a duplex apartment, featuring a lower-level recreational room. While the usable, above-grade square footage is 3600 SF (with cellar), the legal FAR of 5,040 sf and 4 Max FAR presents a rare opportunity to expand the current footprint and add up to 2,155 sf (to be independently verified with a qualified architect and/or engineer).
