155 West 71st Street, 4-D

This hard to find two bedroom Pre-war condominium has bright southern exposure. Built in 1940 and in keeping with the Gatsby House charm, there are wonderful art deco touches throughout the apartment, including a spacious entrance foyer, archway entrances to both the living room and the bedroom hall, and a signature step-down living room. The spacious floor plan affords both a gracious sized master bedroom and exceptional storage space, which includes six closets throughout the apartment. The windowed eat in kitchen has oak cabinetry, an Elba stove, a full-size Bosch dishwasher, microwave and ample counter space. Both the renovated bathrooms are full size. The Gatsby House is located just moments from the 2/3 express train at the 72nd Street stop, yet off from the fray of Broadway on a quiet side street. Just out your living room and bedroom windows, above the tops of gingko trees, is the Blessed Sacrament Church, with its elaborate and ornate facade. You will also have the ultimate convenience of being near excellent restaurants and shops including Trader Joe's market, and of course Central Park is minutes away. The Gatsby House has a live-in superintendent. Pets and pied-a-terre usage are welcome. The building is extremely well run and the monthly carrying costs are some of the lowest in the city.
