The large, glamorous living room is anchored by a sleek concrete fireplace flanked with beautiful bookshelves. A nearly all-white kitchen features luxe stainless steel appliances. Two large, sunny bedrooms; two gorgeous luxury baths, one in rich marble with a soaking tub; and an array of expansive closets complete the setting. Just off this suite, an ultra-private outdoor living room offers the ideal hideaway for morning coffee and evening relaxing.The elegant one-bedroom unit projects the same sleek sophistication. The comfortable living room and sizeable dining room are wonderful for both relaxing and entertaining. The garage is currently set up as a fashionable office space with walls for art, marble countertop with sink, storage and powder room. A sweeping rooftop deck above adds another light-filled outdoor space for sunbathing and entertaining. The property was once owned by Bob Crewe, legendary cowriter/producer of hits by the Four Seasons and a string of other top artists. The songs served as the score to the smash musical Jersey Boys, winning a string of Tony Awards and a Grammy. Also a noted fine artist, Crewe used the two-bedroom unit as a gallery. A perfectly chic setting for an owner/user who needs a guest house, office space and ample off-street parking.
