Apartment 2F features a gracious pre-war layout with northern exposures overlooking the historic brownstones and treetops on West 82nd Street. Upon entering this beautiful residence, you are met with a dramatic 9’ by 27’ formal gallery which flows perfectly between a 16’ by 27’ living room with three large windows and a 17’ by 17’ formal dining room. The living room provides abundant space for multiple furniture plans for comfortable living and sophisticated entertaining. The living room boasts three large windows with charming treetop views creating a quaint brownstone feel. On the opposite end of the gallery, the square formal dining room is the perfect setting for the largest of dinner parties. The renovated windowed kitchen sits conveniently off the dining room and features abundant granite-covered counter space, luxurious custom cabinetry, and the best high-end appliance package including a SubZero Fridge, a designer series Fisher and Paykel Range, and Cooktop, and a Miele dishwasher. A breakfast bar provides the perfect setting for enjoying your morning or evening with sunny courtyard views through an oversized picture window.
