501 West 123rd Street, 8-D

Hello, Sunshine! This renovated east-facing beauty has open city views and ample space for living. From the moment you enter, the light and views draw you into this home and through each room. The perfectly proportioned great room accommodates grand-scale furniture, including a sofa, love seat, and a wall of bookcases or integrated media center. The separate windowed dining area has an additional north-facing window that provides an incredible uptown sightline. The gut-renovated kitchen offers plenty of cabinetry, including a double-door pantry with pull-out drawers and a place for everything, including a neatly tucked-away garbage/recycling center & spice rack. A suite of high-end Samsung appliances, including a 5-burner range, dishwasher, above-the-counter microwave, French-door refrigerator/freezer with external ice/water service, and professional range hood make cooking a pleasure, while the elegant glass-tile backsplash and black solid-surface countertops make cleanup a cinch. In addition, a windowed alcove in the kitchen adjacent to the dining room is a perfect spot for a cafe table for morning coffee or a banquette for casual dining. The kitchen can be left open for easy circulation or closed off from the bedroom wing with a handy pocket door. The fully renovated bathroom features linear Kohler fixtures and beautiful marble tile throughout. The gracious primary bedroom boasts plenty of room for a king-sized bed, a home office, nightstands, and a large chest of drawers, in addition to 2 closets with integrated lighting and oversized windows. CityProof windows have been added to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep. The second bedroom is also large, facing east with 2 closets. Two generous entry closets and electrical upgrades throughout, including pendant lighting and ceiling fixtures, elevate the offering. 501 West 123rd Street is a pet-friendly, smoke-free coop with a modern community laundry room set on the 9-acre grounds of Morningside Gardens.
