Update: We knew this one would go quickly, and now has an accepted offer. We can still show for backups until the contract is signed. Every apartment in the iconic Ex-Lax building has its own unique flare, and that has never been truer than apartment 3J. As you enter the apartment, what you first notice is the amazing light provided by a wall of south-facing regular and transom windows. The open kitchen is to your left featuring stainless steel countertops, a Viking range, a Bosch dishwasher and LG washer/dryer. For those who want a true loft experience, the spacious, open living area is front and center with 11-foot ceilings and ample space for entertaining in open living and dining areas.Maximizing the use of floor space, there is a mezzanine loft area accessed via a spiral staircase, perfect for working at home. Below the mezzanine loft, there is a shoji screen enclosed sleeping area. Just outside the enclosed sleeping area is a Zen-inspired rock garden which extends along the bases of both walls in the main living area. You will be left with a sense of calm when inhabiting the space. The lighting is designed to complement the Zen setting with up lights embedded in the rock garden and, sconces hung just below ceiling height, to provide tranquil, diffuse light throughout.The bathroom is likewise calming - pebble stone flooring is complemented by a granite vanity top and natural stone vessel sink. A full shower and tub provides the option to wash or soak your cares away.Beyond its amazing aesthetics, the apartment is deeply practical as well with a large walk-in closet with shelving and hangers from floor to the very top of the 11 foot ceilings.
