304 W 76th St

Enter a space teaming with superlatives, this studio in name only features a spacious living area with its eye-catching fireplace set against an exposed red brick chimney wall and with its overmantel and surround of oak wood and olive-green tile together with a patterned, black cast iron fire box and tiled hearth. Feel the light, space and air in this extra-high ceiling abode complete with wide, full-height sliding glass doors, a wide window plus a picture window all through which sunlight pours in. And when you cannot bear another moment inside, the sliding doors open to step out onto your private balcony that, even in the most inclement weather, provides breathtaking views of the Hudson, Riverside Park and surrounding skyline as well as the birds eye views of the block's beautiful streetscape defined by its preserved landmark row houses, all architectural gems of a bygone era. Beyond these elements and thanks to the aforementioned ceiling height, there is a tremendous king-sized loft over the kitchen, bathroom and entryway. Even the loft has its own concealed storage area in this upper level of the apartment. The separate kitchen is sizable with its full range, full, two-door refrigerator together with ample cabinets and countertop area. Built-in air conditioning, ceiling fan, oak floors, recessed lighting and unbelievable closet and storage space including an oversized closet with wide doors each mirrored on the inside to full height top off the accoutrements belonging to this apartment. Relive how life must have been for a certain class of city dwellers as you stroll the half-block on your way back from Riverside Park or return from one of the restaurant, entertainment or shopping venues on nearby Broadway in order to repose in your metropolitan oasis complete with all its trappings, a place distinctly slower, quieter and residential compared to its nearby, bustling avenues and corridors. An urban nest fit for those who relish regal magnificence.
