The wrap terrace is ideally positioned as it runs the full expanse of the end-to-end living/dining/family rooms and MBR, creating an almost 100-foot wall of windows for full enjoyment of the planted terrace, the light and the views(including nice side river views), and has a Weber gas grill. A skylight over the great room adds even more light. The kitchen features granite countertops, Poggenpohl cabinets, SubZero, Gaggenau, and Viking appliances. There is also a washer/dryer in the apartment.
