A SUPER VALUE, SPACIOUS 2-BR, CONVERTIBLE to 3 or 4 in EXCELLENT U.W.S. LOCATION! Enjoy this huge and outstanding floor-through apartment full of charm, character and warmth in a pre-war Co-op building located in the heart of Manhattan's Upper West Side. This building is part of a row of 7 contiguous brownstone buildings, each with 5 floors, with about half of them having 1 apartment per floor, as is the case here. Welcome and enter into the gracious windowed entrance area of this intimate loft-like apartment. One immediately sees that it is sun-filled with north, south, east and west exposures, allowing ventilation and light throughout the apartment. In addition, there are oversized windows, high ceilings (about 9'6"), some exposed brick walls, 2 decorative fire places, hardwood floors, a washer/dryer and excellent closet space. Currently there are 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, however the apartment size and layout can easily be converted to 3 windowed bedrooms (plus a windowed office or library). In addition, there is plenty of room to add a second full bath as well. Altogether, the apartment measures approximately 1400 square feet. On your right, the huge and charming living room with exposed brick walls and decorative fireplace has 3 oversized windows overlooking north onto 85th Street and its beautiful tree-lined sidewalks. The master bedroom has a spacious walk-in closet, which has a window. Down the hallway on your left there is a south-facing, sun-flooded kitchen, also with 3 oversized windows, with a huge island and large dining area and den with a decorative fireplace. An ideal place to relax after a good meal. Also, there are excellent modern kitchen appliances and the countertops (on the island as well) are made of granite. Built in 1906 as one of the 7 contiguous pre-war brownstone buildings, this apartment was part of a Co-op conversion in 1987. This gem of an apartment is well worth the 3 flights walk-up. Stroller storage is available on the first floor. Storage cabinets and bike racks are available for a nominal monthly fee. Pets are allowed. There is a visiting Super who is well known and well regarded on the block. Also, there are excellent neighborhood District 3 schools, see details in insideschools web site. Location is midway between Central Park and Riverside Park on West 85th Street. This is one of the best Upper West Side locations near everything: fine restaurants, convenient transportation, ente
