LEASES SIGNED. AWAITING COOP BOARD APPROVAL. Welcome to The Manchester, a Beaux Arts building graced with a beautiful limestone lady above its doorway: She's called "Phoebe," after one of the building's long-time residents. Pass through the original, ornate iron doors and into the newly renovated, heavenly lobby, complete with stained glass window, gilt-trimmed ceiling, and oak front desk, where the doorman sits. Take a ride up to the 8th floor via one of two brass-fronted elevators. Upon entry into the foyer of this lovely two-bedroom and one bath pre-war gem, you will find yourself in a generous living room, which features a large walk in closet and enough space for a sitting and dining area. The windowed kitchen has ample storage space and eye-catching stainless steel counters. It has a 2-burner gas stove, but no oven. A convection oven will be suppled. The primary bedroom has beautiful Southern exposures with open city views, and the second bedroom has enough space for two twin beds. A unique "jack-and-jill" sink area between the two bedrooms adds extra charm and convenience. The Manchester has a 24-hour door concierge, live-in super, full-time porter, playroom, bike storage, a grand lobby, and new elevators. The building is located a blocks from the #1 train and many bus lines. Enjoy living in this sought after neighborhood with its close proximity to Columbia University, numerous great restaurants and cafes, Whole Foods, and Riverside and Central Parks. Board approval required.
