Designed in 1929 by renowned architect Rosario Candela, this rarely available two-bedroom apartment with two full baths is a wonderful place to call home. Bright and airy, the elegant layout of beautifully proportioned rooms includes an entry foyer, living room, primary bedroom with en-suite bath, second bedroom, second bath and eat-in kitchen. Architectural details such as high ceilings, substantial crown and picture moldings, large windows, and original inlaid hardwood floors define this as a truly classic pre-war residence. The windowed eat-in kitchen provides ample cabinetry, granite counter tops and a gracious dining area perfect for entertaining. The primary bedroom with vestibule and en-suite bath allows for absolute privacy. The vestibule has two closets including a large walk-in. The en-suite bath features a walk-in shower, white porcelain fixtures and polished chrome fittings. The walls and floors are finished in pale grey statuary marble. The second bedroom is generously sized with the second bath matching the master bath finishes, fixtures and fittings. This full service Art Deco building provides a 24 hr. doorman, elevator attendant, live-in superintendent, dedicated service elevator, laundry and storage rooms in the basement. The building is pet friendly and close to transportation, great shopping, parks and restaurants. Showings are available days, evenings and weekends by appointment only.
