Description

A TRULY MAGICAL UPPER WEST SIDE CLASSIC SIX
255 WEST 98TH STREET, APT 8C

YOUR HOME
Experience total serenity in this magical, corner classic six home with northern, western, and southern exposures. Carefully preserved pre-war details including French doors, hardwood floors with cherry inlay, and impressive ceiling height complement period-appropriate updates, making Residence 8C a rare gem. The focal point of this remarkable home is the rich mahogany paneled formal dining room adjacent to the sophisticated parlor with restored decorative fireplace where you'll delight in hosting the most elegant of engagements. Let your culinary imagination run wild in the handsomely renovated, windowed chef's kitchen. Situated next to the kitchen, the former staff quarters with en suite full bath make for an excellent guest bedroom, home office, study, or music room. At the west end of the home, you'll find two nicely proportioned bedrooms, cedar closets, and tastefully updated bathroom. This one's a real beauty. Magical, even.

YOUR BUILDING
255 West 98th Street is a handsome Upper West Side apartment house that was constructed in 1906 and converted to cooperative in 1984. This intimate building has only three apartments per floor over ten stories, is well-served by a resident superintendent who takes packages, and is crowned by a lush, planted roof deck with stunning city views you'll love entertaining here as much as in your magical home. Maintenance at 255 West 98th Street is very reasonable, and the co-op is known for its solid financials. The renovated pre-war lobby is quite something to behold with its gilded age marble and tile and luminescent stained glass. Even more magic!

YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
From picturesque, tree-lined streets, to shopping, cafs, and world-class arts and entertainment venues and with Central Park as its eastern border this is the celebrated neighborhood for which so many yearn. Enjoy an evening of Shakespeare In The Park, or invite your guests to experience the wonderful American Museum of Natural History & Planetarium. For art, music, and film, look no further than nearby Lincoln Center home to The New York Philharmonic, Metropolitan Opera, and New York City Ballet The Juilliard School, Elinor Bunin Film Center, and Beacon Theatre to satisfy the desires of the most discerning devotee of art and culture. Numerous fitness centers are to be found in the area, and for those with culinary aspirations, who wouldn't be thrilled to have West Side Market, WholeFoods, and Fairway all nearby? Welcome home!
