150 West 87th Street, 1-C

This elegant and spacious maisonette is an attractive combination of modern comforts and pre-war style. It was fully renovated and equipped about 6 years ago, with enchanting pre-prewar features like crown moldings, wainscoting and beams, 9 ½ foot high ceilings and new dark wood plank floors throughout. Facing a quiet side street, this apartment is also amazingly quiet and serene.

As you enter the expansive foyer, you are welcomed by a large square living room on the right. It has tall North windows looking out on a tree-lined street and historic town houses. The generous master bedroom suite off the living room faces South onto an interior court yard and is pin drop quiet. The windowed master bathroom is preceded by a dressing area with a very large closet and a linen closet. It has a bathtub and shower. The second bedroom is also entered from the living room and faces North. By giving up the linen closet in the dressing area and replacing it with a door, the second bedroom could easily gain access to the master bathroom without loss of privacy. The large, windowed kitchen and dining area is to the left of the foyer, with ample space for a serious cook to create meals for family or guests. The kitchen has maple cabinets with frosted glass doors on the upper section. The sprawling white Caesar stone counters will accommodate even the most demanding cook. The space is enlivened by the ceramic and glass-tiled backsplash. All appliances are stainless steel. They include a large side-by-side refrigerator-freezer, full size under-the-counter washer and dryer, dishwasher and range. A windowed bathroom with a stall shower is tucked away behind the kitchen. There is plenty of closet space in the apartment.

150 West 87th Street is located on a charming tree lined block of townhouses and mid-rise buildings most dating from the early nineteen hundreds. It is one and a half blocks from Central Park and also from Broadway, with lots of exciting shopping and restaurants nearby. The B, C and 1 trains and cross-town bus stops are a short distance away. The neighborhood has a number of excellent schools at every educational level.

The coop has flexible financing and sublet policies and allows dogs, subject to board approval. It has a resident manager and a full time doorman/concierge.
