Property Details
Description
Aficionados of Gilded Age New York will appreciate this one-of-a-kind studio in the coveted West 70s!!! Designed by Charles T. Mott in 1887, this Romanesque Revival mansion was once the home of the son and widow of President Ulysses S. Grant and later the home of Samuel Shaw, collector and patron of American Art. Formerly the mansion's Reception Room, this home is dripping in Old World charm. Peacefully quiet, it faces south and west through four oversized arched leaded glass windows complete with stained glass inlays. The flexible main room allows designated areas for sleeping, lounging, working and dining. Additional details include original moldings, a functioning antique Italian marble fountain, high ceilings, terra cotta floors, six dimmable wall sconces for perfect light and two closets. Completing this unique home are a renovated kitchen featuring cherry wood cabinets and full-size stainless-steel appliances and a windowed bathroom. This self-managed, seven unit converted mansion features central laundry and storage in the basement and is pet friendly. Desirably located on the corner of West 73rd and West End Avenue in one of the most vibrant and historic residential neighborhoods in Manhattan, this home is convenient to Fairway, Citarella, Trader Joe's, The Beacon Theater and the 1/2/3 subway lines and just one block from Riverside Park with its cafes, gardens, playgrounds, bicycle paths, sports fields, tennis courts and dog runs. The neighborhood offers wonderful shopping venues and great restaurants and easy access to Central Park, Lincoln Center and multiple cinemas. The stated monthly charges include the monthly maintenance of $792 plus two $370 assessments annually. Recent years' capital improvements include new roofing, repointing of the building, and modernization of electrical service to each apartment, replacement and code updates to boiler and hot water heaters.
