Take advantage of this opportunity to own a spacious, high-floor, one-bedroom sanctuary located in the historic and mystique-infused Whitby where such notable 20th Century icons as Doris Day, George Burns and Al Capone spent their days and nights. It comes to market for the first time in thirty years and has just undergone a stunning and complete renovation. This quiet, 8th floor home has been thoughtfully updated so that coveted 1920's details remain while at the same time offering the comforts of contemporary living. A well-lit entry hallway, both long and dramatic, can easily accommodate an expansive library wall, hanging art gallery or efficient home office. You are then welcomed into the generously-sized living room with its newly refinished, elegant, dark oak floors, beamed ceilings and crown moldings. Oversized windows with Northern exposures filter beautiful light and offer beckoning views of both classic townhouses and the modern city skyline, strikingly beautiful at night. The windowed kitchen has been thoughtfully remodeled and opened up and is equipped with a clever, built-in granite breakfast bar, stone tile backsplash, high wall cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. The ample bathroom is ideally situated between the living room and bedroom, perfect for guests. It is also windowed and has been modernized while retaining its reglazed vintage bathtub. The large bedroom, separated from the living room by a foyer, offers quiet privacy and is bathed in light. And finally, an affordable monthly maintenance makes this a highly attractive investment for the discerning buyer. The Whitby is a 1923 Emery Roth-designed building located in the heart of Manhattan's incomparable Midtown theatre district and is convenient to all major transportation and shopping. This full-service co-op offers a 24hr doorman, new laundry room, concierge, basement storage and is pied-a-terre, co-purchasing and pet-friendly.
