This unique residence is a rarity on the Upper West Side - a true loft feel with soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and large room dimensions. An oversized living room has 22' ceilings and a separate dining area with two exposures. One faces east and offers views of the Egyptian statues which make up the facade of the building, beautiful city and skyline views and even a snap shot of Central Park. The other faces west and features the attractive steeple and turrets of the neighboring church. A private terrace sits off the living room and features a sweeping southern view of the city. The renovated kitchen has beautiful granite counters, an abundance of work space, beautiful wood cabinetry with plenty of storage and a private washer/dryer. The appliances are stainless steel, including a sub-zero refrigerator and a Viking stove. The second floor consists of a large master bedroom with a wall of closets, a renovated marble bathroom with an oversized stall shower and a separate office or den which overlooks the second bedroom below and has access to a huge walk in closet. The Pythian is a full service doorman building and architectural gem named after the Knights of Pythias, a fraternal organization founded in 1864. It was designed in 1927 by Thomas W. Lamb and converted to a condominium in 1983. The facade of the building is decorated with brightly-colored glazed terracotta in the ancient Egyptian style providing a dramatic and impressive setting!
