MINT, MIDTOWN, PRE-WAR 2BR Take advantage of this extremely rare opportunity to own a beautifully renovated, two-bedroom sanctuary 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 high floor, sun-filled, quiet and contemporary home also retains classic, 1920's detail, including high, beamed ceilings and original oak floors lovingly refinished to an elegant sheen. A welcoming entry foyer with large closet opens into a spacious and comfortable living room enhanced by an oversized window with Western exposure and a walk-in closet. The windowed kitchen has been re-imagined as a chef's delight and graciously looks out on the living room for myriad entertaining options. No expense was spared in its renovation which features a large, wood and stainless steel counter with room for seating, custom wood and glass cabinetry, dishwasher, and a gorgeous, mosaic tile backsplash. The sprawling unit's floorplan also reveals a hallway leading away from the living space and toward two large, split bedrooms. One is bathed in light from dual Northern and Western exposures while the other is Northern exposed and offers breathtaking, open skyline views, especially glamorous at night. Large, walk-in closets in each room offer abundant opportunities for storage. The ample bathroom located between the bedrooms, perfect for guests, is also windowed and features a pedestal sink and a soaking bathtub with glass-enclosed shower and rainforest showerhead The Whitby, famously profiled in the New York Times, was designed by the esteemed architect Emery Roth (The San Remo, The Beresford) and completed in 1923. This 217-unit, noble structure, renowned for its impressive three sturdy bays and rippling brick cornice, is located on West 45th Street between 8th and 9th Aves in the heart of NYC's fabled theatre district. The Whitby is a full-service co-op and features one of the most spectacular roof decks in Midtown West with 360 degree, open city views. Amenities include a 24/7 doorman, new laundry room, storage, bike room, FIOS and a grand, newly renovated, Art Deco-inspired lobby. It is convenient to all major transportation and an abundance of restaurants, cafes and entertainment. The Whitby is pied-a-terre, co-purchasing and pet-friendly.
