Description
Calling All space buyers!
This almost 5-room home (4.5) is originally the sunny south part of an enormous 10 Room home so the scale in 7A is bigger than most other 2 bedrooms- ever! It is over 1,400 SF - because it has the best rooms of the original 10 room home! Look at those rooms sizes! Bet you have never ever seen anything this large, at this price with this location. What two bedroom has a 19x11 Dining area? This is a rare opportunity to live in a gracious 4.5 room apt that is traditionally reserved for only --3,000 SF homes. There is a grand living room, larger than most - almost 25x16- facing south to the tree-lined street with herringbone hardwood floors - can you just imagine how stunning this would be furnished with these tall 9.5-foot ceilings! The scale of the corner primary bedroom is enormous 16 x 14! The 2nd bedroom is an unheard of massive 18x13 room- it's bigger than most primary bedrooms. There are also two full bathrooms, one with a window and soaking tub and one with a walk in shower. There is a windowed kitchen- and you know - everyone wants a window in the kitchen -- And all of this is located in a turn of the century coop at 161 West 86th street. The sister building of 151 west 86th. They are both part of the same cooperative. Both have attended lobbies with doormen greeting you during the day and a resident manager as well as porters on staff. There is a fabulous roof deck in this building for residents. The building has storage for each unit (including #7A ) and best yet- its located in the heart of the upper west side a block and a half from Central park and close to 2 subway lines with the cross town bus and Citibike too . Near the best shopping, restaurants and culture, the west side has to offer including Zabars, Granola Bar, Trader Joes, Elea, Fairway, Citarella , The Beacon Theatre and the Planetarium , AMNH and Butterfly garden- Some might call this 1400 SF home - a 4.5 room - but with these massive rooms it's a 10 out of 10!
First showings begin Sunday March 23rd
