Description

Perched on a high floor, this stunning 3-Bedroom cooperative apartment basks in fantastic sunlight all day long, thanks to a wall of south-facing windows that overlook 98th Street. The spacious great room seamlessly combines living and dining areas, creating an open, airy atmosphere perfect for entertaining or relaxing in style.

Completely updated down to the building's exterior studs, the home welcomes you with an inviting entry foyer that flows effortlessly into the expansive great room. New hardwood flooring and custom cabinetry throughout provides abundant storage while adding a refined touch to the space.

The dining area comfortably fits a large table, ideal for both casual meals and large, lively gatherings. The chef's kitchen has been beautifully renovated and equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, including a 36-inch six-burner Fisher & Paykel range with vented hood, Bosch dishwasher, Bosch washer/dryer, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, microwave, and a full-sized wine cooler. Ample countertops, deep cabinets, and a pantry provide plenty of room for all your culinary essentials. For added comfort, the apartment features a two-zone central air conditioning system.

The generously sized primary bedroom enjoys bright southern exposure and boasts two walk-in closets along with a luxurious en-suite bath. The quiet secondary bedroom, adjacent to the primary, faces a serene northern interior exposure. A versatile maid's room can easily serve as a guest room, home office, or den. All bathrooms have been elegantly renovated with Waterworks fixtures, radiant floor heating and exquisite marble and ceramic tile finishes.

Located at 255 West 98th Street, this distinguished prewar cooperative offers just 32 units in the heart of the Upper West Side. Residents enjoy a full-sized laundry room, bike storage, an outdoor roof deck, private storage, and a responsive live-in superintendent.

This is a sponsor unit, so no Cooperative Board approval is required. Priced competitively by the sponsor, the purchaser is responsible for applicable transfer fees, taxes, and sponsor attorney fees
