The moment you arrive in this expansive high-floor showplace, you'll be swept away by tall beamed ceilings, herringbone floors, substantial baseboards and breathtaking unobstructed views to the north, east and south. The open-plan living/dining room welcomes comfortable relaxation or lively entertaining alongside eastern outlooks that stretch across the Natural History Museum to the treetops of Central Park and the high-rises of the Upper East Side. The beautiful open kitchen impresses with dark cabinetry, stone countertops, designer pendants and upscale stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, dishwasher and built-in microwave. The wide island/breakfast bar provides the perfect setting for casual dining and conversation, and off the entry, a walk-in closet with built-in cabinetry could easily serve as a pantry.
A long hallway finished with another closet and a beautiful built-in home office space leads to the king-size bedroom wrapped in sunny southern and eastern views. There's a small closet here, while the adjacent dressing room provides a wall of louvered wardrobe space on the way to the neat-as-a-pin windowed full bathroom. A stacked washer-dryer and coat closet in the foyer reinforce the outstanding storage and convenience found throughout this wonderful Upper West Side sanctuary.
Built in 1926, The Clifton is a lovely Neo-Renaissance apartment house with handsome Romanesque elements in brick and terra cotta.
