LARGE AND LIVELY PRE-WAR CLASSIC FANTASTICALLY FLEXIBLE* HEART-WARMER BELOVED PRE-WAR BUILDING w/GORGEOUS CITY-VIEW ROOF GARDEN, NEW GYM, PLAYROOM, & STORAGE There is a timeless elegance and practicality to a classic design. Something about the original plan, the original lines, and the original scale come together in perfect harmony and they just work. Here is the upgraded, move-in classic whose form and function meld perfectly to create a practical and pretty home that can handsomely host all of your growing needs. Underfoot are hardwood floors, above are soaring high ceilings, and all around you are soulful period details and big windows. Everywhere, there is classic elegance! A large, welcoming gallery hall ushers you into the comfortable living/dining room — an easy-living, gracious space with built-ins and a good feeling. The bright, upgraded, windowed, kitchen offers ample cabinets and good counter space, and an attractive suite of appliances. The separation of the bedroom wing from the entertaining rooms is smart and gracious. Down the long gallery hall are two large bedrooms: A king-sized, corner primary bedroom with two bright exposures (cross breezes anyone?), and a well-scaled, cheerful guest room. Both big bedrooms are served by a classic windowed bath with a vintage, cast-iron soaking tub. Sweetly perched in its full-service, well-run, well-staffed, Rouse & Goldstone designed building, this rare classic is a winsome standout. Ideally set in its pet and pied-a-terre friendly building, this feel-good home enjoys all the benefits of a resident manager, laundry/bike/storage rooms, stunning planted roof deck, gorgeous lobby, new gym, and playroom. With a location close to every area cultural, dining, shopping, and fitness destination – and a plethora of easy transportation options – this is the easy living residence — equidistant from Central and Riverside Parks —that stands out for all the right reasons. If you love a winning mix of classic style and practicality, then this flexible*, winsome residence will inspire your senses and melt your heart.
