Grandeur, grace and glamour greet you upon entering Apartment 2A at The Cloisters on West 108th Street just off of Riverside Drive. This exceptional offering presents the beloved features of a Beaux-Arts townhouse with the conveniences of apartment living. The main rooms of Apartment 2A comprise the parlor floor of one of the original 1899 townhouses that were combined in 1984 to create this boutique cooperative. Architectural details abound throughout this one-of-a-kind home. Both the living room and dining rooms enjoy oversized 3 bay window seats with recessed lighting above. There are intricate moldings throughout the grand public rooms including towering French doors and nearly 12-foot ceilings that combine to create an exceptional entertaining space. The dining room also features a coffered wood-beamed ceiling and a 7-foot high wood-burning fireplace. The primary bedroom is simply magical. Southern light from the 3 oversized bay windows, exquisite double panel molding, wainscoting and decorative fireplace with carved wooden surround, and built-in glass and wooden cabinets flank the French doors to create a very special sanctuary. A large walk-in closet, and en-suite bath with double sinks, walk-in shower and deep soaking tub complete this singular space. This stunning home also has 2 additional bedrooms, both with beautifully renovated en-suite baths and generous closet spaces. The kitchen, overlooking the private and public gardens of The Cloisters, features a Viking gas stove with vented hood, beautiful wooden cabinetry and decorative shelving, and a diamond-patterned tile flooring that opens onto a balcony offering alfresco moments throughout the day and evening. Sweet bonus feature is a hidden large attic area accessed in the kitchen with convenient drop-down steps. There is a storage closet on the second floor that is private to this residence as well. Also featured in this home is a powder room, a stacked Miele washer & dryer, and central air in the main rooms with window AC units in the two additional bedrooms.
