Watch the seasons change and enjoy Hudson River and Riverside Park views from this elegant, prewar 3- bedroom home at the Normandy- an iconic and landmarked Art Deco coop built in 1939 and designed by renowned architect, Emery Roth. A gracious entry foyer sets the tone and leads to the large west-facing living room. Enjoy daytime light and evening sunsets from this well-proportioned room with the river and park serving as a backdrop. A formal dining room and spacious windowed eat-in kitchen make this home ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. The generous sized kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, black granite countertops and top of the line appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and Miele oven and dishwasher. Ample storage and space for a table complete the room. The primary bedroom enjoys the same picturesque river and park views as the living room and boasts excellent closet space including a walk-in closet. There are two additional bedrooms, both of which have substantial closet space custom built-out to maximize storage. Both bathrooms have custom finishes and the primary bath has both a shower stall along with a tub. Additional highlights in this distinguished home include lovely original herringbone hardwood floors, both west and east exposures allowing for cross ventilation, enclosed through the wall air conditioning, high beamed ceilings and a Miele washer/dryer. Located in the heart of the Upper West Side and across the street from the beauty and recreation of Riverside Park, The Normandy is a true New York City classic! The building was designed with two wings, and spans from 86th street through to 87th street, each side with a separate entrance and elevator bank and connected by a grand, windowed center lobby overlooking the front garden. This full-service cooperative offers an attentive staff of full-time doormen, handymen, porters, and a live-in resident manager. The Normandy has every amenity: two new gyms, laundry, children's playroom, community room, bike storage and storage (wait-list), and a huge furnished, landscaped roof deck with 360-degree views east to Central Park, south to downtown and the World Trade Center, west to the gorgeous Hudson River and beyond, and north to the George Washington Bridge. Pet and pied-a terre friendly, the building allows 75% financing and co-purchasing.
