MANSION IN THE SKY

Be one of the few to call this palatial, eight-room, top-floor, triple exposure apartment your new home. A true one-of-a-kind gem, the apartment boasts square footage few in the neighborhood can offer at ~2,500+ ft. A combination of pre-war bones and midcentury character, this amazing home boasts pristine original custom woodwork and built-ins throughout. Although currently configured as a five bedroom, the flexible floor plan provides total freedom to create a home that meets your needs.

Upon entering this mansion in the sky, you are greeted with a enormous windowed entry room that could easily be converted into a home office or sixth bedroom (landlord will gladly flex), and a sweeping 50’ view to the other end of the home. Soaring 9.5’ ceilings and triple exposures including river and bridge views provide a feeling of lightness and air, not to mention abundant sunlight streaming through 20+ windows.

In its present configuration, the home offers five generous king-sized bedrooms with oversized windows, plus separate living and dining rooms separated by stunning original French doors. All bedrooms can easily accommodate additional furniture, and two of the bedrooms feature their own ensuite windowed bathrooms with original restored cast iron soaking tubs. The third common bath is centrally located in the apartment and also features an original restored tub. The oversized eat-in windowed kitchen features abundant cabinetry and full-sized appliances including a dishwasher and microwave. Chefs, please bring all your favorite kitchen tools as there is plenty of counter space and tons of room for additional shelving, racks, and even a four-seater table for a lovely informal dining setup.

At the southern edge of the apartment lies the main attraction. The enormous living room and separate dining room which commands attention with showstopping details such as pristine original woodwork, built-in storage cabinetry, and stunning exposed wood beamed ceilings. Enjoy abundant natural throughout the day and soak in views of the Hudson River and George Washington Bridge. Movie night and you forgot the popcorn? A “secret” door hidden in the living room woodwork is a convenient shortcut to the kitchen. Other apartment features include a walk-in cedar laundry closet featuring a brand new stacked WASHER/DRYER and an incredible amount of storage throughout with a total of seven closets and additional built-in shelving.
