The grand entry foyer of this high floor three bedroom opens dramatically to both the living and dining rooms; spanning nearly 40 feet with lots of direct sunlight and open city views. Original hardwood floors from foyer to living and dining rooms lend an effortless elegance to the interior while the walk through offers an easy flow between the two handsomely proportioned main rooms. This unit has both style and substance – it combines pre-war intimacy and warmth with a more contemporary feeling of airy spaciousness.
The large primary bedroom is designed for comfort, easily accommodates a king sized bed, enjoys generous natural light through its three eastern windows and has both an en-suite bathroom as well as a WIC. The second bedroom is bright and serenely quiet, can also accommodate a king sized bed and has two closets. Off the kitchen is the third bedroom or home office where you can finally write that novel. It's oversized storage closet could be converted to a third bathroom or used for a washer and dryer (water hook up is already there).
Renovated approximately 10 years ago, the cheerful kitchen offers abundant storage and counter space as well as stainless steel appliances. The efficient design creates space for the chef as well as friends of the chef.
