Don't miss this excellent opportunity to restore a spacious classic prewar 5 room apartment in a prime UWS location!

Opposite the dining room is a huge eat-in kitchen providing excellent design options. The bedroom hall leads to a windowed bathroom and two generous pin drop quiet bedrooms, both with adequate closets.

Currently configured as two bedrooms, apartments in this C line have been converted to perfect three bedroom apartments by dividing the oversized DR into a bedroom and dining area.
