Directly off of the living room and through the 8' archway pocket doors sits a well proportioned 3rd bedroom that shares the same views of McCarren Park; features a built-in desk, and is outfitted with a California closet.

On the other end of the apartment removed from the living space, you'll find a full bathroom, large storage/linen/shoe closet with stacked washer/self-venting dryer, the second bedroom, and the master suite. The bedroom is outfitted with California closets and has unobstructed southern exposures that look directly over 20 Bayard Street's beautiful private gated garden.

It features a marble double-sink, Kohler lighted medicine cabinets, a soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed stall shower.

Quiet and refined, 20 Bayard street is as lovely as they come. The pet friendly building's amenities include 24 hour doorman and concierge services, a back patio for lounging situated above the building's beautifully landscaped private garden, hanging bike storage (for an additional monthly fee), parking lot (spaces available for purchase), rooftop deck, and gym with internal glass-enclosed playroom.
