151 West 86th Street, 12-C

This high-floor bright 7-room home is a fine example of original turn-of-the-century architecture with a gracious layout that offers a perfect balance for both entertaining and living. The elegant floor plan includes two very large bedrooms, an eat-in kitchen with an oversized butlers pantry, a grand living room, a formal dining room, two full baths en suite, TWO staff rooms and one staff bath, and an elegant entry foyer. Additionally, the floor plan can accommodate flexibility as both staff rooms are large and can easily accommodate a third bedroom. The scale of the rooms is all the more impressive due to the high ceilings, original crown moldings, and great light. With three exposures and oversized windows in every room, the home is exceptionally bright and features wonderful open northern and southern city views from high atop the 12th floor. Original hardwood floors are found throughout; herringbone in both formal rooms. The very spacious and bright living room faces south with a handsome decorative fireplace and built-in bookshelves. The formal dining room is a wonderfully large and bright space off the foyer and both formal rooms together create a magnificent entertaining expanse. An oversized staff room off the dining is currently configured as a home office. The eat-in kitchen includes an original butlers pantry that rivals most in size. Both bedrooms have a full bath en suite. The building has a beautiful planted roof deck that is only one flight up!
