This Art Deco dream with sunken living room and open southern views all the way to mid-town offers a very gracious layout with generously sized rooms and high beamed ceilings. The early 1940's architecture captures the best of pre-war and post-war design elements, which makes this apartment especially appealing. The renovated windowed granite kitchen with custom Wood Mode cabinetry has a lovely breakfast bar. You can start your morning with coffee, emails, and a fabulous view of the city beyond! The separate bedroom wing with split bedrooms has two full baths. The master en suite is oversized and features a steam shower and extra large vanity. The second bath with large jetted tub is conveniently located just outside the bedroom so it can serve as a guest powder room too. There is excellent storage- 6 large double depth closets- all customized. Elegance aptly describes the sunken living room. It has a large bay window and light streams through all day. Beautiful new solar shades are an added bonus. It is also large enough for living room and dining room furnishings, however the dining platform is a very good size and accommodates sit down formal dining. The Thornley is an intimate (five apartments on this floor), elegant and well-maintained building. Among the buildings hallmarks is a newly renovated roof deck complete with gazebo and teak furniture. The hallways and Lobby have been renovated; there is a bicycle room, large storage bins (waitlisted), laundry room, full time doorman and a live-in super. Sorry no washer dryer but Pied a Terre's and pets allowed.
