This beautifully renovated classic five-room home checks every box with a few delightful surprises. The current owners took great bones and made them even better, completely transforming the kitchen and both bathrooms with a sleek, modern design that feels fresh without trying too hard. The kitchen is a true showstopper. Outfitted with stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and a built-in banquette perfect for lazy Sunday bagels or a quick coffee before catching the train. The layout has been smartly reworked: the kitchen now has its own entry from the living room/dining area, the former dining room has been converted into a proper third bedroom. Because in New York, you never say no to more bedrooms. The oversized living room gets lovely light and has the kind of proportions that make entertaining or quiet evenings at home a pleasure. The corner primary bedroom has a walk-in closet that could cause envy. The second bedroom is generously sized, and the overall closet space is excellent. Because again, this is New York and closets matter. You’ll also find oak floors, three exposures, skim-coated walls, a separate laundry closet with a Bosch washer and dryer, and the kind of quiet that’s hard to find in the city. Pets, pied-à-terres, co-purchasing, guarantors, and subletting are all permitted with board approval. The building offers a full-time doorman, live-in super, central laundry (though this unit has its own washer and dryer), and on-site storage (currently full).
