300 West 109th Street, 2-JK

NO WORK NEEDED. TURN KEY - Unless you want to change the wall colors, in which case you are painting on skim coated walls. FAST & EASY. A LARGE (approximately 1,700 SF) two-bedroom, convertible to three, cooperative apartment (with two bathrooms) is for sale at the legendary Manhasset. The core characteristics of the arts and crafts movement: simplicity, function and superb craftsmanship, are demonstrated in the apartment floorplan, the high ceilings, hardwood oak strip floors and oak millwork carefully fitted throughout. They are the hall marks of this dwelling which was combined from two units. All rooms are EXTRA LARGE. You can skate board down the hall. The living room with its oversized windows looks out over the trees on 109th Street. The dining room doubles as a library with a charming bay window and window seat right now, but can easily be converted to the third bedroom. The primary bedroom accommodates a king-size bed and has two very LARGE fitted closets. Its position in the apartment layout is particularly good for those who want pin-drop quiet and serenity. The ensuite bathroom is voluminous, boasting a separate shower and a glorious LARGE (huge) tub. At the opposite end of the hall is a second spacious bedroom with two walk-in closets adjacent to another renovated bathroom. A renovated eat-in kitchen is windowed with stainless steel appliances, marble countertops and custom cabinets. There is a full-sized washing machine and vented dryer and three more large closets. The Manhasset, a renowned landmark, takes up a block on Broadway with entrances on 108th and 109th street, each with a marble lobby and soaring ceilings. Designed by Janes and Leo between 1898-1904, it is a premier example of Beaux-Arts architecture distinguished by a grand copper-trimmed mansard roof. It is wonderfully located amongst gourmet markets, shops and restaurants for which the area is known. The building is one block from the #1 train and 1 block away from the #4, #5, and #104 buses: two blocks from the #60 bus. A state-of-the-art video security system provides access to both entrances, and a resident super takes packages and dry cleaning. Two porters maintain the building in pristine condition and collect garbage from the apartment door twice a day. The building has a central laundry room and two bike rooms. Included in the maintenance is sub metered electricity. The coop bills monthly for gas and bulk cable. Pets are welcome and pieds-a-terre are allowed on a case-by-case basis. This is not just your average upper west side 2 bedroom apartment. If you want space - this is the apartment for you. LARGE - I said it was LARGE didn't I?
