Description

XXX MINT TOP FLOOR CORNER LOFT, 10' CEILINGS & RIVER VIEWS! Open the door to this amazing one-of a-kind home and you will be awestruck by the sweeping Hudson River and Palisade views from the 5 windows that face them. This apartment has a high-end chef's kitchen with granite countertops and back-splash, European cherry wood and glass cabinetry that can be back-lit, a Frigidaire stainless steel 5 burner stove, Miele d/w, Sub Zero refrigerator with 2 freezer drawers and a separate Viking wine refrigerator. The bathroom has been transformed to, as they say, "Hotel Chic." It has bamboo flooring, gorgeous slate tiles throughout, a floor to ceiling glass panel to separate the walk-in shower from the rest of the bath, European water conservation toilet and a squared bowl sink. The apartment also comes with an extremely large custom designed closet that will hold all your clothes for all seasons. The bedroom area was built up to create a bi-level area which created a 8x13 storage area below. Last but not least, there is a dining area that could easily be used as a home office and northern exposures overlooking Mother Cabrini's beautifully manicured grounds. The Coop has a live-in super, central laundry area, allows w/d's in the units, parents to co-purchase & pets. PIED-A-TERRES ALLOWED. It is just steps to the "A" train, M4 & M98 express bus, Ft. Tryon park, the Cloisters, shopping and restaurants.
