ESTATE SALE This serene, one-bedroom sanctuary comes to market for the first time in 40 years and is located in the historic and mystique-infused Whitby where such notable 20th Century icons as Doris Day, George Burns and Al Capone spent their days and nights. This quiet, 1st floor home, tucked away in a hallway alcove for privacy, retains all of its original, 1920s classic detail and just needs a buyer to lovingly contemporize it. You are welcomed into the generously-sized living room with its 9' high, thick beamed ceilings, crown moldings and original oak floors, recently sanded and refinished to an elegant sheen. An oversized window offers an Eastern exposure. All of this combines to enhance the vintage character of the home. The apartment's galley kitchen has a new electric stove and can easily be opened up to create a comfortable dining space. The large, Southern-exposed bedroom offers peaceful solitude and the ample, windowed bathroom boasts iconic subway tile and a vintage bathtub. A large, walk-in closet provides abundant opportunities for storage. And finally, an extremely low monthly maintenance makes this a highly attractive investment for the discerning buyer. The Whitby, famously profiled in the New York Times, was designed by the esteemed architect Emery Roth (The San Remo, The Beresford) and completed in 1923. This 217-unit, noble structure, renowned for its impressive three sturdy bays and rippling brick cornice, is located on West 45th Street between 8th and 9th Aves in the heart of NYC's fabled theatre district.
