Apt 3B retains the bones of fabulous turn of the century prewar architecture and construction with the benefit of having undergone a total renovation. With the provenance of an earlier era, this refined one bedroom 1.5 bathroom duplex home is a masterful combination of both old and new. In prewar tradition, a gracious entrance foyer leads to the heart of the home. Original exposed brick runs over the entire west wall connecting the entryway to the expansive step-down living/dining area. Beautiful variegated hardwood floors predominate throughout the space, further enhanced by lofty ceilings up to 9.5 feet in height. Warm southern light streams in from oversized windows, illuminating the living room all day in a glow of sun. Tall leafy trees lining the quiet block outside are visible as well through the room's double paned glass. The north facing bedroom nests atop a long flight of stairs and features a lovely view of the lush landscaped garden out back, along with towering tree branches seen from two enormous windows. The upper level easily accommodates a king sized bed with abundant storage space provided by 3 closets. There is also a white tiled master bathroom with porcelain sink and vanity and a tub/shower. The kitchen is located on the first level and contains all new stainless steel appliances, pristine white cabinetry and white tile backsplash, and a black & white patterned tile floor. There is also a separate linen/utility closet and a half bath. The apartment is in mint move-in condition and maintains a certain character from both its prewar individuality and its enclosure in a boutique style building. This prewar elevator coop was built in 1910 and is desirably located in the center of the Upper Eastside. The building has an intimate feel at only 7 stories and with 35 units. Amenities include a live-in super, laundry room, and a verdant landscaped garden for residents. Pets allowed. The coop also permits guarantors, parents buying for children, and pieds-a-terre. The neighborhood is convenient to Central Park as well as Carl Schurz Park, and smaller parks and playgrounds, established restaurants and cafes, world class museums, and local area shops and watering holes. Transportation by bus or subway is readily accessible from the major lines.
