Description

Priced to sell, this is an extraordinary opportunity to put your stamp on a much sought after corner unit at Tudor City. Originally a large studio, this pre-war apartment has already been converted to a spacious one bedroom with hardwood floors throughout and many thoughtful extra touches designed to maximize the space. Built-in storage and custom shelving is abundant throughout the home. There is also a Murphy bed in the living area, and the bathroom is finished in tasteful grey marble. In what is perhaps one of the property's most desirable features, landmarked casement windows (a signature of the building's celebrated architect, Fred French) feature both northern and eastern exposures and overlook not one, but two beautiful parks. All of which makes this truly special home feel like your very own "tree house? in the middle of Manhattan. Woodstock Tower, perhaps the grandest building in the Tudor City complex, was built in 1929, and features 459 units. The building is meticulously maintained by a friendly full service staff, on duty 24/7. Amenities include a private courtyard garden that provides residents a quiet retreat and also serves as a venue for building events during the warmer months. The gym, located on the Lobby level, is open to residents from 6am to 11pm and is fully equipped with an array of exercise options. Laundry facilities are also located on the Lobby level and can be used by residents from 7am to 10pm daily. There is also a bike room and private storage available for a fee.Pied-a-terre permitted, parents can purchase for children, and the building is pet friendly. Utilities are included in the low monthly maintenance.Please note, floorplan is the ORIGINAL layout. Apartment is already converted to one bedroom.
