The true Upper West Side gem is a beautifully proportioned Edwardian five-room home at the Alameda, an exceptional full-service prewar building in a prime location surrounded by all the best the city has to offer. Filled with brilliant light, this elegant corner two-bedroom, two-bathroom home features abundant oversized windows throughout, three exposures and open city views from the living room. The well-planned layout provides generous scale highlighted by 9 ceilings, beautiful old-world detail and a fabulous flow for entertaining. Stunning prewar details include herringbone floors in the formal expanse, pristine moldings and trim, French doors and a handsome decorative fireplace. This gracious and classic West Side home presents an open expanse for entertaining including a very spacious living room and dining gallery (that can easily accommodate a large dinner party) as well as two oversized bedrooms, two full baths, a beautifully renovated kitchen with butlers pantry, a large staff room currently configured as a home office and generous closet storage. The master bedroom, a bright, large corner room with south and west exposures and plenty of natural light, contains two large custom-fitted closets and can be closed off as a suite with an adjacent renovated, windowed bathroom outfitted with a deep-soaking Jacuzzi tub and custom fitted linen closets. This second bedroom is currently configured as den-media room that is beautifully appointed with custom built-in bookshelves and entertainment center. The sunny renovated kitchen has been beautifully renovated with custom white shaker cabinetry, white marble countertop and backsplash, and high-end stainless steel appliances including Miele wall oven, stovetop and dishwasher as well as built-in GE microwave. The space is complete with butlers pantry with plentiful storage and wine rack. Just off the kitchen is the original staff room currently configured as a windowed home office with custom built-in desk and cabinetry as well as a renovated full bath en-suite. The white-glove prewar building has a range of amenities that include a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry room, bike room, and landscaped garden on the roof (the roof is also a 'green' roof).
