Description

A modern esthetic enhanced by thoughtful details, an expansive private roof deck showcasing skyline views, and a sought-after location steps from Fairmount Avenue combine for one-of-a-kind luxury living at 1718 Folsom St #B. This bi-level, extra-wide 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom condominium was built to exacting standards of high efficiency and sustainability by Postgreen Homes, earning the national 2017 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Housing Award and attaining LEED Platinum certification. A quiet, low-traffic block leads to the abode's striking curb appeal displayed in the brick and wood facade, lively planter, and metal bench. Inside, you're welcomed by a foyer at the base of the entry staircase, acting as a mudroom for shoes, coats, and bags. Up on the main level, soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and tall windows aid the home's extra width in creating a bright, open, and airy feel. The large living room has tons of space to hang out and entertain. The sleek, contemporary kitchen mirrors the pages of an architectural magazine, boasting two-tone underlit cabinetry, a moveable island, high-end Bosch stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and Cedar & Moss light fixtures. A powder room is tucked away in the corner. The airy feel continues on the home's second level, where you'll find a huge primary bedroom with custom closets and a ceiling fan. Down the hall is a full bathroom with a floating double vanity and glass-enclosed shower, a bonus space ideal for an office or gym, and a second spacious bedroom. There's also a conveniently placed laundry closet. Topping off the home is a massive, park-like roof deck with artificial grass, planter boxes, and mesmerizing views, offering a private escape from the city's hustle.
