Description
MAJOR PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Located at the crossroads of two of the most celebrated blocks on the Upper West Side sits The Raleigh, a bespoke and discreet pre-war treasure. Now, there is an uncommon opportunity to own a spacious and sunny two-bedroom, two-bath home in the upper west side’s best kept secret. Upon entry into this lovely fifth floor home, you’ll be greeted by a welcoming foyer, with a huge, ceiling high, double closet. Just past the foyer is the galley kitchen across from which there is a dedicated dining/office area. Around the corner is the large, sunny, south-facing living room, spacious enough to accommodate couches as well as a dining table. The windows welcome abundant light and the hard wood floors throughout this home have been lovingly maintained and are in great condition. The primary bedroom is exceptionally large and sun-filled, also south facing, and has an enormous walk-in closet. It also has an updated en-suite bathroom and a ceiling fan. The second bedroom is equally large, also with a ceiling fan, and a huge walk-in closet. It, too, has an updated en-suite bath. At the building's entrance, its majestic, wrought-iron gates shepherd you into a resplendent, beautifully restored pre-war entry way and lobby. It is both elegant and refined. The elevators are cloaked in beautiful wood and brushed brass and are additional examples of the attention to detail. The stunning lobby is only matched by the incredible roof-top terrace, which is artfully landscaped as well as furnished. It has manifold different sitting areas, each showcasing different arresting city views. The grandeur of the lobby and roof terrace is only outshone by the gracious and attentive staff. The building also has a common laundry room and offers the "building link" system for package notification, etc. This bespoke, pre-war, hidden gem is located in the absolute best part of the upper west side. It is a block away from two subway lines, the 1/2/3 and the B/C, and buses also frequent this thoroughfare. Amidst the Upper West Side’s best restaurants and shopping, it offers options from Trader Joe’s to Chanel. Incredibly, the Raleigh is also only one block from Central Park. Don't miss this opportunity to own this spectacular, spacious and sunny home, now with a major price improvement. Reach out and make an appointment to see it!
