PERFECT PIED-A-TERRE This spacious, one of a kind studio high above Lincoln Center has all you could ask for. Above all, it has glorious views for miles, great open space, top quality fixtures and attractive built-ins that make decorating a breeze. You see the view the moment you walk in, through a wall of windows centered around a balcony with a glass fence. Lincoln Center lies below, with the luxurious high-rise buildings of Lincoln Square as a backdrop. The Hudson River stretches out before you, all the way to the George Washington Bridge. Central Park, the Upper West Side and the East Side skylines add color. There is sun in the morning and reflected light from a large expanse of open sky the rest of the day. At night, Lincoln Center sparkles in a sea of lights. A recent gut renovation reconfigured the living area to optimize space, functionality and view. Both sides of the living area are lined with custom cabinets of natural maple. On the left is the kitchen area, with a stacked Bosch washer/dryer, a Liebherr refrigerator, and a Miele dishwasher, all built-in. There is a Wolf cook top, and a Sharp microwave convection oven that also bakes and broils. A custom Murphy bed and a wall unit are on the right. The latter has lots of storage and shelves, pullout writing surfaces, and a TV. A large custom closet with fully adjustable shelves and hanging rods should satisfy the needs of the most demanding pied-a-terre buyers. The two heating and air conditioning units have custom maple enclosures with white Quartz tops that match the kitchen counter. The living area has custom ceiling and wall lights. The floors are covered with top quality engineered maple floors with a light charcoal stain. The balcony tiles match the floor inside. The bathroom is tiled in white with accent mosaics. It has Grohe fixtures, including handheld and fixed shower heads, a built-in tub, and a large medicine cabinet.
