Property Details
Description
Situated on a most desirable tree-lined block, this meticulously renovated brownstone apartment underwent a two-year gut renovation transforming a garden studio into a designer showcase. Custom cabinetry and masterful workmanship throughout brilliantly maximizes the use of the space -- adding walls of built-in closets, bookcases, storage, a queen-sized Murphy bed, 7-inch wide oak floors, new lighting, new electrical and plumbing, central air-conditioning, radiant heated floors, a windowed chef's kitchen with premium appliances and a new elegant faux stone mantle over the gas fireplace. On top of all this, the piece de resistance is one of the finest New York gardens you will find, professionally landscaped and designed, including irrigation and lighting. Shielded by brownstones on all sides, the garden is an extension of your home, your own quiet retreat. This exquisite listing is located a stone's throw away from the Museum of Natural History. Offered fully furnished to be move-in-ready. Pets and washer/dryer are allowed with board approval.
