It's not just because MTV has twice filmed off of the front deck to capture the stunning views--its true. We call it the Cliffhanger because this cool walk out apartment is nestled on the side of a cliff over looking wetlands and the East River. Not only is this rental conveniently located, it is situated so that it faces only wetlands, ranchland and river with three sets of french doors to soak in the views. It is a private Rocky Mountain retreat that offers the discriminating visitor a comfortable apartment with all the recreational amenities at your finger tips with spectacular views of the East River and close up opportunities to enjoy and observe wildlife right out your front window.
