If Gatsby had an apartment in the city, this would be it! The grace and elegance of a by-gone era embrace you from the moment you step into this 2-bed, 2-bath home. With a soaring ceiling height of nearly 11', herringbone floor, double-height casement windows and stately deco fireplace, this grand living room sets the perfect stage for easy Spring brunches and toasty winter nights. The windowed, stainless steel kitchen with generous granite counter space makes entertaining a breeze and you may retire at the end of a long day in one of your two bedrooms, each with a windowed, en suite bath done in crisp white. With windows in every room the space is illuminated with welcoming sunshine, and all the best of prewar design is respected, including arched entryways, beamed ceilings, and a gracious entry foyer. Generous closets which include 3 extra deep walk-ins are a hidden treasure in making this home not just beautiful, but practical for everyday living. Located in the east wing of a handsome full-service building, it is pet friendly, and the maintenance includes both electricity and basic cable. Conveniently located in Sutton, close to Whole Foods, Bridge Market, and a few blocks to the green and yellow subway lines.
