Welcome to Unit 2 at 48 West 86th Street, a stunning 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom parlor floor residence in a 25-foot wide Beaux Arts Mansion directly off Central Park West.
Upon entry into this keyed elevator full-floor home the foyer separates the bedrooms from the kitchen, dining, and living space.
The true heart of the home is a grand, sun-filled living room featuring 12-foot ceilings, a magnificent crystal chandelier, and a wood burning fireplace. The French windows open to the Juliet balconies overlooking tree-lined West 86th Street. The details are in the original ornate crown moldings and herringbone mahogany floors.
The expansive kitchen has top-of-the-line appliances including Subzero, Wolfe, and Miele all with Italian granite countertops and custom cabinetry. The bright and south-facing Master bedroom suite overlooks the serene interior garden and features a beautifully mantled wood burning fireplace, adorned wood details and ensuite bath.
The second bedroom is down the hall and features an abundance of closet space and also has its own full bathroom.
Additionally, this home features W/D, attic storage room above the hallway, and a large private storage room.
