Description
PRINCELY PRE-WAR BY THE PARK
BEAUTY + FATE = LUCKY YOU
When opportunity meets preparedness, it's called luck. When style meets function, it's called beauty. When you meet this stupendous 6-Room home, it's called fate.
Lovingly renovated by the current owner, and supremely situated on the penultimate floor of its elegant 1915 building -- on one of the Upper Westside's prime Riverside Park blocks -- this happy home's rarity rests in its timeless character, and its sun-filled, feel-good vibe.
High ceilings, tall antique doors, an open plan layout, transoms, three exposures, exposed brick, a decorative fireplace, hardwood floors, and practical-meets-pretty upgrades blend handsomely with Pre World War One grace and scale, creating an easy elegance. The lovable result is a remarkably comfortable home full of comfort, style and easy living.
The living and dining rooms, with their high ceilings, and their signature horizontal run of four South facing windows, beam with all day sunshine and architectural views. These front rooms are graced by an oversized, windowed kitchen. Designed by a real cook, this overscaled kitchen enjoys a dining bar, impressive marble counters and cabinet space, premium appliances (by Liebherr, Bosch, and LG), and an easy open flow to the living/dining rooms. Rich with character and lofty soul, these rooms are well-suited for entertaining and relaxing.
The residential wing of this home is off of the grand gallery hall, and feels nicely separate from the entertaining rooms. All three bedrooms have a good scale, offer peace and tranquility, and are served by a big, full, windowed, renovated bath. One of the bedrooms enjoys a bonus en suite half bath (can be expanded), and a Miele washer/dryer. These rooms, like the rest of this special home, offer room to stretch out and enjoy an expansive life.
Well positioned in a heart-warming building by the park, this classic residence is served by building laundry, storage, and bike rooms, and a location that comes with bragging rights. Nearby are the 24-hour Westside Market, and there is a Whole Foods close by on Columbus Avenue, and a Trader Joe’s on 93rd Street. The area is also filled with fantastic dining and shopping such as the Friday Farmer's Market on 97th Street, and the 1/2/3 trains and crosstown bus are merely one block away.
Here is the parkside, pet friendly, sweetheart-of-a-home for which you've been waiting. Beauty and fate - lucky you.
