A PRIVATE “HOUSE” WITHIN A FULL SERVICE BUILDING

SUNSHINY DUPLEXED 3BR w/EAT-IN KITCHEN & WASHER/DRYER

If you want the comforts of a real “house” — a proper home with an upstairs-downstairs lifestyle — but with all of the benefits of a full service, supremely located, Prewar building — then welcome to space, sunshine, and character. Here, in this rare, dandy duplex — perfectly perched its well-run building — in one of the Upper Westside’s most treasured areas — is a bright, roomy, easy to love residence.

With beamed ceilings, big, sun-filled windows, period built-ins, and an easy-to live layout, this unique, bi-level property is the ideal setting for a stretch-out life. A comfortable scale, impressive Southern light, easy, straight stairs, and good closet/storage spaces help to make this handsome home a stand-out for all the best reasons.

Downstairs is a bright, lofty great room — a living/dining room served by a full bath. These well-scaled rooms flow easily from the foyer to the sizable eat-in, windowed kitchen. With a Wolf stove, ample counter and cabinet space, and room for a dining table, the kitchen is practical and sizable — a core part of this lovely home’s entertaining floor.

Upstairs are the three bedrooms. The primary bedroom offers an en suite marble bath with step-in shower. Two comfortable guest bedrooms and a washer/dryer round out the upper level — the floor that makes this special “house” feel like a real home.

With a prime location that comes with bragging rights, this cheerful classic is sweetly positioned in its Schwartz & Gross designed (circa 1924), pet-friendly, doorman, elevator building with live-in Super, and laundry, bike, and storage rooms. Nearby is most every area cultural, dining, shopping, and fitness destination, prime proximity to Riverside Park, and a plethora of easy transportation options.

(NOTE: Well-run building has a new roof, 2 new elevators, and the building has recently taken ownership of its prized commercial space — and all income from it.)
