Description

Ultimate Prewar Perfection! This high-floor renovated residence is the epitome of elegance, boasting 3 bedrooms, 2.5 windowed bathrooms, a massive sun-drenched living room, formal dining, a completely redone kitchen, beautiful open city views, high beamed ceilings, stunning strip hardwood floors, an in-unit W/D, and through-wall A/C units in all of the living and entertaining spaces.

A gracious entrance hallway welcomes you into the sprawling residence, ushering you into the exceptionally sunny 23' x 18' living room enhanced by double exposures and built-ins that are equally tasteful and functional. Off the living room, an elegantly columned passage leads into the spacious formal dining area, which itself flows smartly and seamlessly into the open kitchen. The chef-caliber kitchen has been completely renovated and flaunts all stainless steel appliances including a SubZero fridge, a deep farmhouse sink, new countertops backsplash, a dining peninsula that cleverly disguises a built-in pull-out desk, and extremely ample storage space via a wealth of attractive custom cabinetry. The home is further enhanced by a washer/dryer, recessed lighting, crown and baseboard moldings throughout, excellent closet space all custom-outfitted (including a walk-in in the master), and a semi-private landing (only one other apartment).

Located in the heart of the Upper West Side between 86th and 87th Streets, The Florence is a 16-story, 95-unit prewar cooperative built in 1924. Residents of this pet-friendly building enjoy a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, community room, bike room, laundry room, storage rooms for lease, and soon-to-be-installed fitness room. The building is located on a beautiful tree-lined block steps from Riverside Park and all transportation, including the 1 train and crosstown bus. Nearby is a host of cultural and culinary attractions including the American Museum of Natural History, the Children's Museum of Manhattan, Symphony Space, AMC 84th Street, Central Park, Sushi of Gari, Zabar's, Fairway, Trader Joe's, Jacob's Pickles, Levain Bakery, The Mermaid Inn, Peacefood Cafe, and so much more! Co-purchasing and gifting are permitted, as is subletting with certain restrictions. Up to 75% financing permitted.
