Mint condition, elegant vintage one bedroom in a classic, full service, art deco high-rise! "THE EDDYSTONE" building was meticulously constructed right before the 1929 Stock Market Crash with the finest materials and highest level of craftmanship by the architects of some of the city's most beloved buildings.
