RARE & RENOVATED: BIG, BRIGHT, FRESH & REINVENTED

PRIVATE SHOWINGS OF THIS BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED HOME ARE EASILY ARRANGED BY APPOINTMENT. (Open Houses are not permitted in this supremely well-run building, so please contact me for an appointment.)

-It’s rare to find the incomparable Schwab House’s largest two bedroom, one bath home available for purchase. It’s even more rare to discover that this coveted, sun-splashed residence has been fully re-invented and renovated from top to bottom. With guidance from architect, Peter Mickle, the smart owners created a fresh, soulful, new-development feel within one of the area’s most classic, easy-to-live, Mid-Century addresses.

-The sunny centerpiece of this East-facing, treetop-view home is its large living room. Here is a feel-good, entertaining space mindfully crafted with a wall of custom bookshelves, and smart, open access to its dining area and trophy cook’s kitchen.

-With a large, marble dining bar, ample custom cabinetry, and stainless appliances (Thermador gas range, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, & Bosch dishwasher), the windowed, designer kitchen is easy-to-live and easy-to-love. This bright culinary dream space is both practical and pretty.

-Quite separate from the entertaining areas of this big, sunshiny beauty are its two generously scaled bedrooms. Down the newly widened gallery hall, the king-sized master offers more of this happy home’s signature Eastern exposure, and good, custom closet space. The guest bedroom is ideal for all of your growing needs. Both big bedrooms are served by this rare residence’s designer bathroom – custom designed with Hansgrohe and Duravit fixtures, and a large soaking tub by Blu Bathworks.

-With many expanded, custom, built-out closets, all-new plumbing and electric, handsome, hardwood parquet floors, custom lighting, an AV system, and through-wall ACs throughout, this good-flowing, well-renovated stunner will melt your heart.

-Perfectly positioned in the coveted Schwab house – perhaps the area’s most famously served buildings – this residence enjoys prime access to its well-run building’s full service staff, its stupendous river-view roof decks, and its in-house play room, library, gym, dry cleaners, garage, and laundry/bike/storage rooms.

-Pet friendly, pied-a-terre friendly, and with co-purchases and guarantors welcome on a case-by-case basis, this stand-out home has a location that comes with bragging rights. With convenient access to most every area cultural, shopping, dining and entertainment destination, and offering front row proximity to Riverside Park (not to mention a plethora of public transportation options), life here is easy and fun.

- FLIP TAX ($20/per share) paid by buyer.
