325 W 45TH Street #811

Take advantage of this opportunity to own a spacious, high-floor and light-filled one-bedroom sanctuary 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, 8th floor comes to market for the first time in thirty years and retains all of its coveted pre-War details, including 1923 lighting fixtures.

A well-lit entry hallway, both long and dramatic, can easily accommodate an expansive library wall, hanging art gallery or efficient home office. You are then welcomed into the generously-sized living room with its original oak floors, high, beamed ceilings and crown moldings. Over-sized windows with Northern exposures filter extraordinarily beautiful sunlight and offer stunning views of both classic townhouses and completely open vistas of the modern city skyline, exquisite at night. The kitchen is windowed and has been opened up and is equipped with stainless steel appliances, including microwave, and a glass tile back-splash. The ample bathroom is ideally situated between the living room and bedroom, perfect for guests. It is also windowed and has retained its vintage bathtub, 1920s porcelain sink and subway tile and just awaits your touch to lovingly welcome it into the 21st Century. The large bedroom, separated from the living room by a foyer, offers quiet privacy and is bathed in light. Large closets provide abundant opportunities for storage.

And finally, an affordable monthly maintenance makes this a highly attractive investment for the discerning buyer.
