An incredibly special mint condition prewar duplex situated on the first and second floors of an elegant cooperative built in 1927. Facing south onto the extra-wide West 96th Street, this home enjoys direct sunlight all day on both floors. There is a private entrance adjacent to the main building entry with 24-hour doorman which lends to a feeling that you're living in a house in a doorman building. The main level of this gracious home features a proper entry foyer, complete with two closets and a powder room, a large living room, a renovated windowed kitchen and a large dining room or third bedroom. The layout of the living room, with windows on both south and north sides, lends itself easily to living and dining. In addition, a full bathroom could be added on this floor. The upper level, accessed via the grand and ornate original staircase, has two large bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms. There is an entrance to the building hallway and elevator access on this floor. This home has just undergone an extensive renovation. The walls and ceilings have been skim-coated and the original wood floors have been refinished and are in perfect condition. All bathrooms have been refitted with fixtures and finishes of the highest quality. The kitchen renovation includes stone counters and floors, custom cabinetry and stainless appliances. There is an enormous amount of closet space throughout the home. 127 West 96th Street is very centrally located and is in close proximity to many of the wonderful stores and restaurants that make the Upper West Side so special. A block and a half to Central Park and within a block or two - too many subway and bus lines to mention.
