305 W 98th Street #8-AS

Contract Signed. Pair a dozen windows with an oversized one-bedroom floorplan and sleek, modern renovations and you've got your dream home. This high-ceilinged gem offers water-tower views and classic prewar details such as hardwood floors, as well as a granite and stainless-steel open kitchen with a Bosch dishwasher and a Liebherr fridge. This is a top-floor apartment, so you have no noise from upstairs neighbors! The undulating architecture creates two niches, one currently used as a dining area, and the other suitable for a possible office. Recessed ceiling lighting adds a touch of modernity throughout. The bedroom is generously proportioned at roughly thirteen by fourteen feet, and two double closets offer capacious storage. The striking Beaux-Arts limestone and brick building sits on a leafy block off Riverside Drive -- you are steps to Westside Market, the 1,2,3 express subway station, and the oasis of Riverside Park. The elevator co-op features a 24-hour attended lobby, two porters, a live-in super, two laundry rooms, and bike storage (wait list). Your pets are welcome. List price $815,000; 80% financing allowed. Maintenance is $1,592 per month. 2% flip tax paid by seller. Sorry, no pieds-à-terre.
