Purchasing a home in Fifteen Hudson Yards ensures you get this and much more. Perhaps second to having concierge services is the kitchen in the apartment. Modern kitchens are not only practical, but they are beautiful. You can expect the best in appliances, elegant wood cabinets, polished marble countertops, and a center island designed for food preparation as well as casual dining.
Room size is another thing that defines luxury living. Room size can often be misconstrued. It is not necessarily the number of rooms, but more importantly, how the rooms are integrated. Open space design draws living, dining, and kitchen spaces together. In real luxury apartments for sale expect to find bedrooms with are spacious, designed to accommodate large beds and furnishings.
