Welcome to the -15 tier of the prestigious Shoreham West coop. This is a rarely offered 3-bedroom corner home, handsomely designed by the award-winning architect Stephen Muse of Muse Associates in Bethesda, MD. From the minute you open the front door, you are greeted by an abundance of natural light streaming through oversized windows and balcony doors. The tree-lined, sunlit views evoke the feeling of being in a private treehouse--serene, expansive, and quiet. The layout of the space is exceptionally well-considered, making it ideal for entertaining and gatherings, while also perfectly suited for comfortable daily living. All doors and hallways are ADA compliant, and there is plenty of wall space for art lovers.
The gracious foyer, complete with a powder room and two over-sized coat closets, leads to a large living room, which features a 9-foot tray ceiling. Extending beyond the living room is a spacious private balcony, perfect for enjoying the outdoors. The dining room, also adorned with a 9-foot tray ceiling, can accommodate large gatherings and offers seamless access to the large gourmet kitchen. Custom built-in cabinets in the dining room offer display space for decorative elements and hidden storage. The kitchen has abundant storage and counter space, and contemporary appliances including a six-burner cook top, double ovens, a warming drawer, dishwasher, hot/cold water filter, and a Sub-zero refrigerator and freezer. It was designed to maximize the opportunity for gourmet cooking, complete with a center island. A handmade 4-panel shoji pocket door separates the kitchen from the dining room allowing you to close the space off from company if desired.
