Spectacularly designed and thoughtfully laid out, Condominium 3SE at The Lippincott at Locust Walk is a true Washington Square gem. Spanning 1,989 square feet and boasting two bedrooms plus a den and two and a half bathrooms, this home highlights unique original building details coupled with modern appointments. Exposed brick walls and ductwork, steel columns, ceilings laden with wooden beams, rich hardwood floors and oversized south facing windows are only some of the special features of this home. There is one parking space in the building's secure underground garage.
Enter the residence either through the 3rd floor common corridor or via a secure elevator that opens directly into the foyer. A gallery, perfect for displaying artwork and with access to the powder room with a floating stone sink, leads into the sun-soaked great room. The great room is large and open with four distinct spaces--a chef's kitchen, formal dining area, living room and den. The chef's eat-in kitchen was recently completely redone and offers modern cabinetry, peninsula with breakfast bar and bar sink, quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, recessed and pendant lighting, Viking gas/electric combination range with pot filler and stainless steel hood, Liebherr paneled refrigerator, and Bosch paneled dishwasher. The adjacent dining area has plenty of space for a large (8+ person) table and leads into the window-walled living room with gallery lighting. There is also a den with custom wood built-ins--this space can easily be walled off to create a third bedroom.
There are two bedroom suites--the primary suite has two walk-in closets, one currently outfitted as an office, as well as an oversized onyx -appointed bathroom with two vanities, a walk-in glass enclosed shower, private commode with Toto toilet and soaking tub. The second bedroom's ensuite bathroom has a pebble tiled floor, glass enclosed stall shower, and wood vanity with glass bowl sink.
There are mechanized blinds on all windows, blackout shades in the primary bedroom, a large storage area in the garage and a wired ADT security system with cameras, ideal for letting vendors in and out.
