    PRIME PRE-WAR FIND w/WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE BY PARK AVENUE MAKE THE BIG KITCHEN OF YOUR DREAMS - ADD A WASHER/DRYER - RE-IMAGINE YOUR LAYOUT (Precedent for these exists – Board approval needed) HUGE LIVING/DINING - HIGH CEILINGS - HERRINGBONE FLOORS - TIMELESS CHARACTER & FLEXIBLE LAYOUT (See potential alternate floor plan) Breakdown of Maintenance: Taxes: ~$2,050/mo Maintenance: ~$3,038/mo Monthly Total: $5088 In 1915, the famed architectural firm of Schwartz & Gross envisioned a boutique building whose impressive layouts would live graciously for generations to come. This big classic home is testament to that vision. Unfolding here is a comfortable, formidable, flexible, and easy-living residence that is poised for you to write its next chapter. With high ceilings above, and with handsome herringbone and parquet floors underfoot, this easy-to-love home's classic elements are plentiful and ready for your refresh. Make your kitchen a mega eat-in space with two windows (precedent exists in building), add a washer dryer (precedent exists in building), re-think both baths, re-imagine the layout (all with necessary Board approvals) – here you have options and a culture of YES. The flow in this feel-good find is seamless and timeless. The over-scaled foyer/gallery (with a trio of closets) spills into the big, bright living room with its signature big, bright bay window, built-ins and wood-burning fireplace. The radiant dining room beams brightly (courtesy of its South-facing window), and smartly nests right off of the windowed kitchen (see above and dream of that big eat-in space – see proposed alternate plan). The king-sized corner primary bedroom boasts two exposures (cross breezes, anyone?) and is linked -- by shared windowed bath -- to the big guest bedroom (readily changed -- can even pursue afore-mentioned washer/dryer – see proposed alternate plan). The second full windowed bath is off of the graceful gallery hall. Ideally perched in the coveted B-line, this ready-for-your-vision residence enjoys all the benefits of its full service, pet friendly building. With round-the-clock staff, a resident superintendent, bike and laundry rooms, renovated lobby, and new elevators, life here is effortless and convenient. Nearby is every area cultural, art, dining, shopping, and fitness destination — world-class institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Frick Collection, Madison Avenue shops, and Central Park are all a stone’s throw from this home, and a plethora of easy transportation options abound. Here’s your unique chance to put your shine on a marvelous home in a prized area — a big beauty with a fireplace and a trophy location. Here is your heart-warming opportunity in the heart of it all. ($1000 flip tax paid by buyer) (Capital assessment of $643.31/mo through DEC 2023; Budget assessment of $387.40/mo until JAN 2024) (Gifting, guarantors, and co-purchases permitted case by case; Pied a terres not welcome; Washer/Dryer and expanded kitchen/baths permitted with Board approval) NOTE: Images Virtually Staged & square footage is an informed estimate only.
