Light, Layout, Location! This loft-like "7" room condominium with 3 bedrooms, a maid's room/office/spare bedroom, and 2.5 baths, is an exceptional residence on a high floor. Upon entry, the magnificent front living room opens to the dining room and meticulously restored original woodwork and moldings. The high ceilings with west and south exposures let in abundant sunlight and frame the spacious layout defined by Juliet balconies. Glass and wooden doors separate the LR/DR from the back half of the space and make entertaining easy. With gorgeous hardwood floors, the light-filled rear of the apartment has a luxurious primary bedroom suite, a maid's room/office/spare bedroom, as well as two additional large bedrooms with spectacular city views down Broadway and to the Hudson River. The two and a half bathrooms have been renovated to complement this home in its authentic prewar grandeur. In addition, a huge windowed eat-in kitchen invites a top chef who can find the freshest ingredients right downstairs at some of New York's best emporiums including Zabar's, Orwashers, Citarella and Fairway. Additional building features: low common charges, low property taxes, pets welcome, new entry foyer, children's playroom, gym, and media room.
