Description
Playbills, Theatre Posters and Broadway scores fill this prewar corner residence with creative energy and artistic serenity. Opera and Broadway tunes were played on the Mason & Hamlin piano which remains in the home. Herringbone walnut stained oak wood flooring, beamed ceilings, arched doorways and prewar moldings are the architectural elements that add character and charm to this 2-bedroom beauty. A gracious and welcoming foyer features double deep closets and art gallery walls. An archway entrance leads to the expansive living room, separate dining area and galley kitchen with cook top, double oven and full-size dishwasher. The living space is perfect for gatherings, dinner parties and quiet living. A private hallway leads to two master bedrooms with en-suite windowed baths and closets galore. Light filters the apartment through three exposures. Bring your imagination and create a serene sanctuary in this former Broadway performer's retreat. Washer/dryers are allowed with board approval.
