A BIT OF EXTRA BY RIVERSIDE PARK SUNSHINE & BIRDSONG: BRIGHT, RENOVATED, CORNER HOME IN THE TREETOPS OPEN PLAN LIVING/DINING/KITCHEN, BONUS GUEST SPACE, WASHER/DRYER + OFFICE FORMERLY A CLASSIC JUMBO 1BR — TRANSFORMED INTO A STELLAR JUNIOR “2BR” Here’s a beautiful bit of downtown uptown vibe that turns the UWS park-side prewar on its head. While gut renovating this jumbo space, a very smart owner decided to re-invent, re-imagine, and revolutionize a classic plan in order to gain more: more function, more refinement, more practicality, more light, more space, more relevance, and more room for all of today’s growing home needs. The welcoming foyer hall unfolds into a big, lofted, open-plan living/dining/kitchen great room — a corner “loft” anchored by six big windows onto the treetops. Swimming in calm and comforting light, the leafy views bring a natural texture to this beautiful and practical space, grounding this home’s entertaining rooms in utter loveliness. With high ceilings above and handsome, hardwood floors underfoot, this entertainer’s dream space enjoys a big dining bar, ample seating space, room for a dining table, and a smartly planned, adjacent office area. The windowed kitchen is a cook’s haven, with its stone counters, dining bar, and ample custom cabinets and storage. With top-tier stainless appliances — including wine fridge — this good looking kitchen delivers practically and aesthetically. Down the sweetly curved, designer gallery/hall (with its good, designer closets and washer/dryer!) — and graciously separate from the living/dining areas — are the main bedroom and bonus space. The primary bedroom is bright and quiet, and is complemented by the supplemental den/guest space. This is your bit of extra — the place for your guests, your home gym, your media lounge — the ideal area for all of your growing needs. Both are served by a smart, stylish, designer, windowed bath. Sweetly perched in the treetops in a classic building formerly home to Babe Ruth (!), this home enjoys all the benefits of its well-run, supremely situated, pet-friendly, park-side address. With a part-time doorman, resident super, bike/laundry/storage rooms, (and in-house ping pong space!), life here is easy, fun, and convenient. Close by is every area cultural, shopping, dining, entertainment, and fitness destination — not to mention a plethora of easy transportation options, and neighboring Riverside Park. If you love pre-war scale, but you yearn for a re-interpretation of a classic — something new that beat suits today’s big life — then come discover downtown uptown — on the park.
