With 2 exposures, and tall ceilings, the home enjoys abundant natural light and refreshing cross-breezes.

Right around the corner, you’ll find neighborhood favorites like Liebre Café for incredible coffee and pastries, Parlay for a casual and delicious lunch, and the iconic Ba Xuyen, widely regarded as one of the best Vietnamese sandwich spots in the city. Ideally located just steps from the D train and a short walk to the N and R lines, this home offers an easy commute and quick access to all corners of the city. When you’re not on the move, enjoy the stunning panoramic views, rolling green lawns, and Olympic-sized pool at nearby Sunset Park.
