Description

Mint condition duplex in the best location on the Upper West Side!

The only duplex in the building, this over 2300 square foot, four bedroom, three bathroom home was recently renovated and features gorgeous custom finishes and soaring ceilings. The entry foyer opens up into an airy and grand great room, with a sun flooded Western exposure onto Columbus Avenue. The oversized, open chef's kitchen boasts a fabulous island, two sinks, a Bertazonni oven and range, two Bosch dishwashers, and a Jenn Air refrigerator. Adjacent to the kitchen is a beautifully renovated full bathroom. Also on this floor, nicely separated from the entertaining space, are the three secondary bedrooms. The oversized second bedroom has a built-in desk, two large closets, and is right next to updated bathroom with a glass stall shower.

The lower level comprises the massive, luxurious, primary suite. The 23 foot long primary bedroom has nearly 10 foot ceilings and two windows looking out onto Columbus Ave. There is also a bedroom size dressing room, and a spa like bathroom with a double vanity, glass shower, and luxurious soaking tub.

The entire apartment features high ceilings, 3 zones of central AC, and fabulous storage including beautiful custom built-ins along the staircase.

Built in 1905, The Galaxy is a full service cooperative with a doorman, a live-in superintendent, and laundry on each floor. Situated right across the street from the Museum of Natural History and down the block from Central Park, the building is also close to all of the best restaurants, shops, and entertainment that the Upper West Side has to offer.
