The Cloisters at 329 West 108th St. was constructed in 1899. Originally built as two separate townhouses, these grand mansions have been combined to create a timeless prewar landmarked cooperative with 19 unique apartments filled with unparalleled detail and charm. Apartment 3A is an expansive 2 bedroom / 2 bath home with massive front-facing bay windows and approximately 11ft ceilings. As you enter through the classic foyer, you are immediately drawn to the spacious primary suite with its ornate south-facing windows looking onto treetops and townhomes lining 108th street. Gaze to your right, and Riverside Park is visible just a half block away. The centerpiece of this majestic room is the impressive decorative fireplace with its original tile, molding, and oversized mantle. Now enter the expansive great room, flooded with light and lined with sweeping bay windows, and you can't help but notice the opulence in the detail throughout this elegant space which feels like you've been transported back to the Gilded Age of NYC. This grand and luxurious room can easily accommodate a large dining table and an additional sitting area for entertaining. Adjacent is a second bedroom/den/office with an en suite bathroom and two large west-facing windows. The tasteful kitchen has white cabinetry and offers plenty of storage space, along with upgraded appliances, and sits perfectly off the living room/dining space for seamless entertaining. Everywhere you look in this rare home, you will find turn-of-the-century details: decorative moldings, original woodwork surrounding oversized doorways, windows, and high ceiling heights. It's truly one-of-a-kind in today's market. Ideally situated between Riverside Park and Broadway, The Cloisters is a boutique, pet-friendly elevator landmarked building with a part-time doorman, bicycle room, laundry room, part-time super, and common garden.
