Description

No detail was overlooked; no expense was spared! Welcome to the ultimate studio apartment; like a suite in a boutique hotel and you'll want to call this one home! Upon entering the foyer you'll immediately notice the high 10 1/2' ceilings. Next, pass by the spa-like, windowed bathroom with a deep soaking tub, Toto toilet and floor to ceiling stone and glass tiles. There is generous closet space. Two smartly designed California Closets, one a walk-in with a window, provide space for all your things. Further down the hallway comes a well thought out kitchen complete with a custom cut stainless steel counter, a natural pebble tile backsplash, 4-burner DeLonghi range, dishwasher and cork flooring. There are bamboo floors in mint condition throughout the rest of the apartment and thru-the-wall AC. This is a corner, north-facing unit which receives great natural light throughout the day.

The building is perfectly located with equal distance to the B/C trains on Central Park West and the 1 and 2/3 express trains on Broadway. Crosstown bus service is just outside your door with up and downtown buses as well. Only 1 block to the Columbus Square shopping complex with Whole Foods and the neighborhood is filled with fabulous restaurants, shops and services.

This is a well-maintained elevator building with a full time live-in super and on-site laundry. Pied a terre, co-purchasing, guarantors and parental purchasing are all allowed. Cats ok but sorry, no dogs.

This is the one that won't disappoint!
