A pristine and cheerful windowed guest or hall bath features a bathtub, dual vanities and medicine cabinets, charming wainscoting, and basket-weave patterned marble flooring. Ideally situated on the south end of this thoughtfully designed home is the spacious, king-sized primary suite, featuring two sunshine-filled, east-facing windows, a crisp, modern windowed bath with dual head step-in shower. Within this glorious room is a 6 12 foot walk-in closet- with room for a designated desk- and custom built to accommodate a major wardrobe and shoe collection- along with personal storage. Throughout this home - such details emerge as stunning solid oak flooring, recessed lighting, silky smooth walls, baseboard and crown molding, and soaring high ceilings. Every aspect of the infrastructure of this meticulous home was renovated, ensuring a clean, solid framework- designed with classic, yet modern comfort in mind. The Alameda, circa 1915, was built by visionary architect Gaetan Ajello and is known to be one of the most distinctive and handsome buildings of this era featuring glazed terracotta, limestone base and design elements and a double height marble lobby. Ajello's buildings are well-loved for their scale, presence and grace, and the Alameda is a wonderful example. Ideally located on 84th Street between Broadway and West End Avenue, the Alameda is situated in the heart of the vibrant Upper West Side surrounded by parks, top ranked public and private schools, shopping, revered specialty markets, casual and formal dining, and public transportation. Residents appreciate a full-time doorman and porter, live-in superintendent, sumptuously landscaped roof deck with both Hudson and Central Park views, and bike room.
