215 W 98TH Street #4D

Old world elegance renovated for modern living best describes this sprawling classic 7 at the famed Gramont. Immediately upon entering the foyer, one is struck by the size and breadth of the gallery from which the entertaining rooms and bedroom wing radiate. French doors lead to the South facing living room which has a decorative fireplace, wainscoting and gorgeous new herringbone floors. The dining room is oversized and more than large enough to accommodate elegant formal entertaining, or can be used as a media room or library by using the oversized gallery for dining. Off the formal dining room, the butler's pantry leads to a renovated windowed kitchen with double sinks and new appliances. The adjacent staff room or home office with half bath and washer & dryer is also off the butler's pantry. This area can be left as is, or the space can be combined to create an enormous eat-in kitchen with office area. The bedroom wing has 3 spacious bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom faces South and is serviced by a renovated en-suite bathroom, and the other two bedrooms share a beautiful renovated hall bath. This beautiful home boasts all new solid wood herringbone and strip floors, approximately 10 foot ceilings, and gorgeous details preserved for over 100 years. Extra large windows bring in light in from South and East exposures. Designed by George and Edward Blum, and constructed in 1911, the Gramont is a full service cooperative with a stunning newly restored lobby, 24 hour doormen, porters and resident manager. Conveniently located just a few blocks from the new express subway stop at 96th Street, some of the best gourmet food shopping and both Central and Riverside Parks, this home is very special.
