50 E 89TH Street #9A

From the moment you approach the Park Regis you see that this is a different building, a perfect place to make home. 89th street between Park and Madison is one of those quiet cross streets few cars travels on. This tranquility is further enhanced by the fact both the Park Regis and the Church across the street are set back, behind gardens. This together with the buildings unique drive-in entrance gives the approach a decidedly park-like feel. <brThe drive-in entrance also serves as ingress to the building's underground garage. Many buildings in this area offer 24 hour doorman/concierge service, a Health Club, Bike Room, Laundry Room and Storage, but the direct elevator access to parking sets this building as a first class building. All of this in an ideal location close to Central Park, renowned Museums, top restaurants, countless boutiques, and world class education. Not only is 50 East 89th Street only blocks from several well-known private schools, it is also located in the coveted P.S. 6 school district. Apartment 9A was recently gut renovated in a light, airy style to accommodate a large family. Throughout this 2 bedroom, 2 bath home you will find clever ways in which design and practicality were married to create a space that could sleep 8 in comfort before reaching for an aero-bed. The focal point of the home is the enlarged living room, dining room and den area offering an open living plan with several distinctly different seating areas. All with open city views overlooking the Landmarked Church of Thomas More. The windows in the living room are floor to ceiling providing great light. The renovated windowed Kitchen is a study in efficiency, complete with breakfast bar, oversized fridge, double drawer dishwasher, convection oven, separate steam oven, washer & dryer, and plenty of storage space in stainless steel cabinets. Since the bedrooms both face south, looking out over the back courtyard, you are more likely to be woken by sunlight than noise. Both bedrooms are very generous in size, and can easily accommodate a king-size bed. However the current owner has opted to turn one room into a sleep-over mecca. With two sets of fold-away bunk beds there are four full size beds, while leaving plenty of room to playor study. As there simply is too much to mention, this home needs to be seen, to be fully appreciated.
