Building: 17 Convent Avenue

17 Convent stands on the corner of a quiet leafy street near the top of a gently rising hill. Its subtle tri-toned brick façade and generous windows create a welcoming presence. The building’s serial setbacks obey the angle of the street, granting each home extra privacy and superior views. Penthouses sit atop the building like a crown — their floor-to-ceiling walls of glass serve as a nighttime beacon by sending a guiding light to neighbors and passers-by.
