Description

Located on what Time Out magazine considers one NYC's Top 10 blocks, this studio is charming, sunny and move-in ready. The perfect pied a terre or first-time home. Step down from the entrance into the inviting living space with 10' ceilings and - as the centerpiece -- a wood-burning fireplace inset in exposed brick wall. Large north facing windows look out onto budding trees, charming townhomes and bright sky. And, it just keeps getting better! This home, recently renovated, offers a brand new kitchen with granite counter, white wood "up-to-the-ceiling" cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, including a 20" 4-burner gas stove, and grey porcelain subway tile back splash. The bathroom, also completely renovated, has white subway tile, marble floor and trim, recessed lighting, floating vanity and water efficient toilet. There are two deep closets with additional storage space above as well as a built-in bookshelf. Thru-wall a/c. And, to top it all off -- a lovely planted common roof deck! This pre-war elevator coop has a part-time super, free storage space and a common laundry room. Pets are allowed (dogs up to 75 lbs). Sublet, co-purchase, guarantor, pied-a-terre are allowed with Board approval. Ideally located in the heart of the Upper West Side, your new home is 1 block from Central Park and the Museum of Natural History, top restaurants, shopping, entertainment, Fairway, Citarella, Zabar's, and easy access to the 1,2,3,B,C subway lines. Don't miss this perfect one!
