Description

PLEASE NOTE; OPEN HOUSES ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

Welcome to apartment 9B at The Avonova. This generously proportioned home offers high ceilings, a grand living/dining room, large closets that have been customized for optimum storage, and huge windowed bathrooms. With beautiful Brazilian cabrueva floors, custom built-ins, and solid core doors, this prewar condominium is move-in ready. The kitchen is a great spot for any aspiring cook and offers superb counter space, ample cabinets, and Viking appliances. The Avonova is a rare find. Built in 1912 by acclaimed architect Gaetano Ajello, this beautiful twelve-story limestone and brick building was restored, updated, and converted to condominiums in 2008. The developers successfully maintained the integrity of the building and created a modern functional interpretation of the original design offering a beautifully furnished roof deck, large fitness center, children's playroom, and a conference/party room. The Avonova has earned its reputation as a highly sought after condominium and a wonderful place to call home.
