Getting response out of httpclient

I am trying to use a WEB API for a personal learning project. The code is successful when trying to get a response from the server, but I can't get the body out of the response.

I am supposed to be getting something like:

{
"start_time": "2017-12-21T11:03:52Z",
"players": 27721,
"server_version": "1223575"
}

but I'm getting this instead:

StatusCode: 200, ReasonPhrase: 'OK', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.StreamContent, Headers:
{
  Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
  Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type,Authorization,X-User-Agent
  Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET,OPTIONS
  Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
  Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Content-Type,Warning,X-Pages,X-ESI-Error-Limit-Remain,X-ESI-Error-Limit-Reset
  Access-Control-Max-Age: 600
  Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000
  X-Esi-Error-Limit-Remain: 100
  X-Esi-Error-Limit-Reset: 54
  Alt-Svc: clear
  Cache-Control: public
  Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2017 20:38:06 GMT
  Via: 1.1 google
  Content-Length: 80
  Content-Type: application/json
  Expires: Thu, 21 Dec 2017 20:38:34 GMT
  Last-Modified: Thu, 21 Dec 2017 20:38:04 GMT
}

Here's my code:

static HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://esi.tech.ccp.is/latest/");
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(
                new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));

            GetTaskAsync("status/?datasource=tranquility").Wait();
        }

        static async Task GetTaskAsync(String endpoint)
        {
            HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(client.BaseAddress + endpoint);         
            Console.WriteLine(response);
        }

Call response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync() to read the body from the response.
