Classic Two Bedroom Pre War Gem This charming sun-flooded high floor 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment faces south over 51st Street and showcases beautiful East River views from both the living room and primary bedroom. The elegant foyer makes a welcoming first impression where the warmth of prewar detail, beamed ceilings, moldings and hardwood floors are immediately felt. With a natural flow, the foyer leads to a separate dining area with built-in cabinets and wine rack; and the adjacent large living room includes custom built bookshelves that perfectly frame the wood burning fire place. In addition, there is a well-proportioned windowed kitchen and two classically tiled windowed bathrooms. The apartment has large custom fitted California closets throughout.
