SOULFULLY RENOVATED PRE-WAR CONDOMINIUM PIED A TERRE PERFECT -- THE IDYLLIC UPPER WESTSIDE PERCH In the quiet backside of its sweet, boutique building -- overlooking the townhouse gardens below -- there lives a scrumptious piece of prewar paradise. This sweet escape -- fully renovated and smartly restored -- boasts the coveted, enviable character and style dreamed about by those who require top-tier finishes with a classic DNA. Just as treasured as this gorgeous home's mindful layout and handsome finishes, is the rare and treasured fact that this prewar prince is a condo. Finally -- a supremely redone and reimagined home that feels current and timeless -- yet offering you treasured condo freedom. Although the ceilings are still high, and although the mouldings are still original, this comfortable heart-warmer is an impeccable new home in a lovely antique shell. The copper plumbing is new -- as is the ample electric, but the 1912 baseboard is preserved and comes up to your knee. Underfoot are handsome new, Oak floors and some lovely preserved original floors. All around you is beauty. The commonsensical layout is easy-to-live and so easy to love. All of the rooms have a grand intimacy, and they flow effortlessly from the foyer/gallery to the cheerful living/dining room -- and beyond to the peaceful and flexible bedrooms. The stupendous, windowed, cook's kitchen is like a sweet, modern butler's pantry. Graced with a mosaic marble backsplash, windowed cabinets (to showcase server ware and glassware), a Bosch electric oven, Wolff gas stovetop (with drawers for pots and pans beneath), and a sexy Leibherr fridge, this space is a culinary delight. Also practical and pretty is the new bathroom. Windowed and luxe, it includes beautiful subway tile, marble floor tile, Farrow and Ball paint, a glass enclosed shower, an illuminated 42" Robern medicine cabinet (with Bluetooth), Restoration Hardware light fixtures, and a custom tub. The hallway into the tranquil master bedroom features original wood floors, with an original inlaid pattern from 1912. This suite includes the original linen closet, with brass fixtures and convenient luggage storage. A beautiful antique light fixture (newly installed) makes the most of the moment. At treetop level and overlooking brownstone backyards through its double window, this impeccable bedroom offers a French-blue, grasscloth feature wall, and custom California closets with off-season storage above. The guest bedroom will spoil your company for sure. With its custom-built bookshelves (with enclosed storage below), and with its refinished original floors and custom drapery, this sweet suite is a flexible treat. Here is your secondary bedroom, your bonus den, your big office, or whatever else your growing needs may require. With a live-in Superintendent, bike/laundry/storage rooms, and a trophy location that comes with bragging rights, this pet-friendly condo residence stands out for all the best reasons. A block away is Central Park, down the street is Riverside Park, and within a stone's throw is every area cultural, dining, shopping, entertainment, and fitness destination -- not to mention a plethora of easy transportation options. Sometimes beauty collides perfectly with design and practicality. Sometimes a prewar home turns out to be a condo. Rarely does all of this happen together. Welcome home. (There is an ongoing monthly assessment of $302.00 - for capital improvements.)
