If you've been looking for a project to make your own, this estate condition one-bedroom with home office is it. With three exposures, high ceilings, hardwood floors, giant closets, crown molding, southern views, and eleven windows, this dramatic, sunny unit -- approximately 1,000 square feet -- presents a terrific opportunity to renovate into the home of your dreams. The principal bedroom faces south, with a classic NY view of brownstones, a water tower, and sky. The windowed kitchen, with its butcher-block counter and Bosch range, can be reconfigured. (See the last listing for 3F-S to imagine what an opened, renovated kitchen might look like.) There is baseboard radiant steam heating, and cooling is by the means of in-window A/Cs. The white-tile, windowed bathroom has a full-sized tub. The loft-like living/dining room, with five windows, faces south and also east. The small room with the ceiling fan, about 9’ by 9’, faces west into the building’s courtyard. Sorry, the addition of another half bath, or the addition of In-unit W/D, not permitted.
