35 W 90TH Street #5J

The most gracious layout available for a one bedroom home- with dining foyer and windowed breakfast room/study- this move-right-in condition home has maintained all of its 1931 distinctive character: original casement windows, solid original oak flooring, wrought iron and plasterwork detail, high beamed ceilings, cedar closet and sunken living room. This airy, cheerful and quiet home welcomes you with an elegant, room sized gallery originally conceived for formal dining. Two steps down, the sunken living room with original brass and wrought iron side rails, handsome plasterwork mantle on a decorative fireplace is grandly proportioned, and receives natural northern light all day through its oversized casement windows. The windowed kitchen is located off a walk-through pantry and features brand new stainless steel appliances- and yes- its own brand-new washer/dryer. An extremely useful, bonus, corner-windowed room off the kitchen overlooking gardens serves as the ideal home office or may be used for seated dining or even a nursery. The generous master bedroom is bright, peaceful and easily accommodates a king-size bed with ample room to spare, and a large walk-in closet. The bathroom is ideally located outside the bedroom for easy access for guests and is handsomely appointed with original restored Art Deco tile and deep porcelain tub. Freshly painted from top to bottom, with the most beautifully patterned restored original hardwood floors, this very special classic home is a true gem of the West Side. 35 West 90th Street is an impeccably maintained high Art Deco 1931 co-operative that offers a 24 hour doorman, gorgeous wood-paneled lobby, personal and bike storage, modern laundry facilities, live-in resident manager, is one minute away from Central Park's Reservoir, and in close proximity to two subway lines, bus lines, dining and shopping. Pied a terres are not permitted, but pets are welcome. Please note, there is a capital assessment of $71.80/month through December 2019.
