Three king-sized bedrooms* and two full baths are in this 1400sf (approx.), move-in ready, light, high-floor coop located at the corner of W81st St. in a full-service, amenities-rich, 24-hr doorman building. High, beamed ceilings soar to over 9.5 feet, higher than on any other floor in the building, expanding the feel of the already large rooms. Use it as a penthouse duplex without having to pay for the penthouse, as 16C is just 1 level below the furnished roof deck. Walk or take the elevator up 1 flight. Prewar details include herringbone hardwood floors and original solid core doors with glass and brass knobs. The primary bedroom, with ensuite full windowed bath, has side glimpses of the river. The 3rd bedroom is now used as a den/music room/office (adapted from its original purpose as a dining room). This apartment gets excellent light from all directions. The almost 16' windowed galley kitchen was designed to maximize storage and optimize workspace. It is equipped with appliances by SubZero, Bosch, GE Profile and Jenn-Air, set into well-maintained custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry with slide-out shelves. Extensive counters make this a great place to prepare meals, from small to elaborate. Also neatly tucked away is a full-size, vented washer/dryer. Gas is included in maintenance. A storage locker is also available for sale. In a nod to old-world elegance, mail is still delivered to your door.
