This person thought that their dream home was only possible in storybooks. What made their vision of the perfect residence so unique? Well, this person was yearning for a practical and beautiful condominium home, yet in a pre-war-style building -- a 1940's residence with classic character, but with the freedom and flexibility of a condominium. This wise person, with the dream of a better life in a supremely convenient location, on a tree-lined street, and in a well-run doorman building, was suddenly surprised. Could it be that this vision of a home awash in sunshine -- a residence graced by a bright southern exposure and a sunny view to the west -- a space with a smart layout; an entry hall/foyer; a dining gallery; a sizable sunken living room; and a custom eat-in, windowed kitchen with stone counters, handsome cabinetry/shelving, and desk and dining nooks really exists? Is it possible there really is such an irresistible residence out there -- with a spacious primary bedroom offering two bright, quiet exposures and an outfitted walk-in closet -- along with a queen-sized, sunny guest bedroom that, like the master, is sweetly served by a renovated, windowed bath with marble floor and classic pedestal sink? Might there actually be a splendid home like this in the world -- an easy-to-love abode in a fiscally responsible, pet-friendly, doorman building with a live-in superintendent, and laundry/storage/bike rooms? Is there really a prize-of-a-place just south of Central Park, offering supreme proximity to world-class theatres, restaurants, and shops; a plethora of Columbus Circle transportation options; and most every NYC cultural destination? Yes. Yes, indeed. Sometimes fairy tales do come true. Welcome home.
