255 W 108th Street #9-F

The Manchester, a full-service doorman building, is an elegant example of Beaux Arts architecture circa 1910. This one-bedroom, one bath apartment features 10Â? ceilings, original pre-war details, and a northern exposure with views of blue sky over Broadway. The renovation designed by 1100 Architect, best known for their work for MOMA, Harrison Ford, The Dalton School, Jasper Johns, and the Macklowe Family, includes 19 feet of custom floor-to-ceiling closets, as well as an open living room. There's a spacious, eat-in chef's kitchen with cherry wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and granite counter tops. All electrical wiring in the apartment has been replaced and updated. The building allows pied a terres, W/DÂ?s, guarantors, and parents buying for children. It has a bike room, laundry room, playroom, new elevators, freshly painted hallways, a wonderful staff, and is pet friendly. Plans are under way for a roof-deck. The neighborhood, nestled between Riverside Park and Central Park, is a mecca for great restaurants, farmersÂ? markets, and book stores. (Note: The Manchester will be taking over its street-side store leases in six years, which will generate a substantial increase in the co-op's future revenue stream).
