LIGHT-FILLED, LARGE & LOFTED: RE-IMAGINED & RENOVATED PRE-WAR SPRAWLER FANTASTICALLY DESIGNED, COVETED CORNER 2BR LOFTED LIVING/DINING GREAT ROOM BELOVED CLASSIC BUILDING w/GORGEOUS CITY-VIEW ROOF GARDEN, NEW GYM, PLAYROOM, & STORAGE (& Brand New Building Gas Lines Already Installed!) If the idea of a sun-filled, downtown loft that is beautifully created out of an uptown classic brings you joy, then this smartly designed, high-floor hero will make your heart sing. Here, the living and dining rooms and big kitchen have all been opened up and renovated to create a great room — an entertainer’s dream space with bright and sunny sky-view exposures from an impressive run of 7 windows. The big light and open loft-vibes give this home its prized residential rarity — a downtown uptown vibe in a prime UWS location. Underfoot are beautiful hardwood floors, above are soaring high ceilings, and all around you are soulful period details that meld perfectly with this home’s smart, timeless renovation. A large, welcoming foyer brings you into the great room — this home’s signature stretch-out, living/dining space. This big comfy space flows elegantly to the gorgeous cook’s kitchen. Bright and windowed, the kitchen offers ample custom cabinets and natural quartzite counter space, a handsome suite of top-shelf appliances, an oversized peninsula, and a sweet windowed half-bath. This ideal cook space — open to the lofted living/dining rooms — makes for easy living and provides this feel-good home with its entertaining core. A washer/dryer provides even more flexibility to this fantastic find. The separation of the bedroom wing from the entertaining rooms is smart and gracious. Down the long gallery hall are two large bedrooms: A king-sized, corner primary bedroom with two sunshiny exposures (cross breezes anyone?), and a well-scaled, cheerfully bright guest room. Both big bedrooms are served by a handsome, windowed, marble-floored bath with an integrated soaking tub (and a sweet architectural peek of the beautiful Belnord). With a location close to every area cultural, dining, shopping, and fitness destination – and a plethora of easy transportation options – this is the easy-to-love and easy-to-live residence — equidistant from Central and Riverside Parks —that stands out for all the right reasons. Supremely perched in the coveted, corner line in its full-service, well-run, well-staffed, Rouse & Goldstone designed building, this mindfully renovated classic is a stellar standout. Ideally set in its pet and pied-a-terre friendly building, this high-floor home enjoys all the benefits of a resident manager, laundry/bike/storage rooms, stunning planted roof deck, gorgeous lobby, new gym, a playroom, and newly redone building gas lines. If you yearn for a winning mix of classic style and lofted practicality — a home that can serve all of today’s growing needs — then this winsome residence will inspire your senses and melt your heart.
