12 West 96th Street, 8/9C

Tastefully and fully renovated (to include masterful custom millwork, thoughtful lighting, new hardwood floors, top of the line new windows and thru-walls AC just to name a few details), this completely unique, elegant yet functional, triple mint duplex home must be seen! A gracious entrance gallery (on the 8th floor) leads to a sun flooded side by side living and dining rooms enjoys open south facing city views. A magnificent chef's kitchen with top of the line appliances (vented Viking stove), with white custom cabinetry perfectly complimented by polished granite countertops is open but separate to the entertaining space. The corner master bedroom has a peak of Central Park and is equally sun flooded, and has a generously large walk-in closet and a glorious spa-like marble master bathroom complete with double sinks (to promote relationship harmony) a separate shower stall and soaking tub, all on a radiant-heated floor. A beautifully designed solid wood staircase (under which there is terrific storage for bulkier items like suitcases or sport equipment) invites you upstairs to a gracious landing. Currently designed with two additional full bedrooms and gracious family room, this floor could easily convert to three full bedrooms (alternative floor plan provided). Again, all rooms are sun flooded. On this floor, there are also two renovated white-tiled bathrooms, copious closet space and a windowed laundry room or an additional bedroom as needed (one could conceivably have five bedrooms in this spacious apartment). If modern living that embraces the warmth of pre-war charm while being steps from Central Park, Whole Foods and express transportation is important to you, your search is over!
