306 West 100th Street, 62

This apartment has wonderful light and is located on a lovely, landmarked, tree-lined Upper West Side block between Riverside Drive and West End Avenue. The apartment has its original 1910 gracious layout, which includes a double parlor separated by intact French doors across the front of the building with one of those rooms easily converted to a bedroom, two more "true" bedrooms, an extra large dining room, pantry, kitchen and staff room, with two baths. Tall French windows line the front of the apartment, and look out over a handsome row of townhouses across the street that are also landmarked. This creates a sweeping city view that will not be threatened with development. Two additional sets of original French doors lead to the parlor and to the dining room. Other features are 10 foot ceilings, a Juliet balcony in the master bedroom, a gallery to hang your art work, a cedar closet, and a wall safe with a missing combination! The building has an outstanding lobby with carefully painted and restored plaster work and is completely lined with white marble. Riverside Park is less than a block away, and on Broadway the #1 train is three blocks north and the #2 and 3 trains are four blocks south. Broadway also offers the West Side Market with Whole Foods and Garden of Eden only slightly farther away, with many restaurants and shops. This is a small building with 32 units and has a full-time live-in superintendent. A storage locker comes with the apartment with a $2.50 charge per month. A washer/dryer can be installed. The building has a laundry room and a bike room.The apartment itself needs a lot of TLC to realize its full potential.
