329 W 108TH Street #3B

Welcome to this exceptional and spacious one-bedroom apartment at The Cloisters - the combination of two over-sized 1899 townhouses combined to create a charming boutique co-op. As you walk through the foyer you enter the nearly 25' living room, that easily fits a large dining table. The oversized bay windows face south onto handsome period townhomes that line 108th Street. The center piece of the living room is the massive decorative fireplace with original glazed tile and oversized mantle. A perfect space for enjoying the company of friends. The bedroom is equally impressive with stunning features that are rare in even the most meticulously preserved homes. In addition to original wood beams the room is adorned with a border of original hand-painted pastoral tableaux that have been lovingly preserved. The roomy eat-in-kitchen, with built-in cafe-style table, has been renovated with white cabinetry that offers plenty of storage space, black granite counters and stainless steel appliances. The bathroom has been updated in pre-war style and there is a large walk-in closet that has lots of storage space and is big enough to include an office area. Everywhere you look in this remarkable home, you find turn-of-the-century, museum quality details: quarter- and rift-sawn oak herringbone and parquet floors, leaded glass, ornate moldings, and original woodwork surrounding oversized doorways, windows and nearly 11' ceilings. Ideally situated between Riverside Park and Broadway, The Cloisters is an elevator, pet-friendly building with part-time doorman, full time super and common garden. Looks lovely in the pictures but truly must be seen in person. Call today to schedule an appointment.
