250 W 88TH Street #PH803

This elegant and stylish 2 bedroom/2 bathroom prewar penthouse condominium has an enormous skylight, windowed walls, and is always bright and airy - a rare find on the Upper West Side! A wonderful gut renovation transformed this home into a loft-like apartment. The top floor corner, open living room and dining room is very spacious with a wall of windows facing East and North and a 20-foot-wide, 16-foot high skylight ceiling. This open space is off the gourmet chef's kitchen; open for great flow, but separated for serious cooking and entertaining. The kitchen was very carefully designed with custom wood cabinets and granite counters, an eat-in bar, high-end appliances, including Sub-Zero, Viking and Bosch, and endless counter and cabinet storage space. The primary bedroom faces North with great light and lots of sky, including two giant custom closets and a luxurious marble en-suite bathroom with double sinks and spa tub and shower. The second bedroom also faces North with lots of sky and a spacious closet, and is serviced by a gorgeous hall bathroom outfitted with beautiful Italian marble and glass tiles. Other special features of this home are custom automatic shades, beautiful solid hardwood floors, a washer/dryer combo unit, custom lighting, and wiring for sound throughout. 250 West 88th Street is a full-service condominium with wonderful staff, 24-hour security, storage, bike room, laundry room and resident manager. Ideally located just 1 block from the nearest subway entrance, 2 blocks to fabulous Riverside Park, 3 blocks to Central Park - all in a tranquil neighborhood. This is a smoke-free building, and sorry, no pets allowed.
