This serene, one-bedroom sanctuary is located in the historic and mystique-infused Whitby where such notable 20th Century icons as Doris Day, George Burns and Al Capone spent their days and nights. This quiet home has just undergone a total and thoughtful renovation so that coveted 1920’s details remain while at the same time offering the comforts of contemporary living.
You are welcomed into the generously-sized living room with its high, thick beamed ceilings, crown moldings and original oak floors, lovingly refinished to an elegant sheen. An oversized window offers a Western exposure. All of this combines to enhance the vintage character of the home.
The apartment’s galley kitchen has been renovated with stainless steel appliances, an electric stove, quartz countertops, and custom wood cabinetry. The large bedroom offers peaceful privacy and the ample, windowed bathroom pampers with a porcelain vanity, marble tile and a brand new bathtub with rainforest showerhead. A large, walk-in closet provides abundant opportunities for storage.
And finally, an extremely low monthly maintenance makes this a highly attractive investment for the discerning buyer.
The Whitby, famously profiled in the New York Times, was designed by the esteemed architect Emery Roth (The San Remo, The Beresford) and completed in 1923. This 217-unit, noble structure, renowned for its impressive three sturdy bays and rippling brick cornice, is located on West 45th Street between 8th and 9th Aves in the heart of NYC’’s fabled theatre district.
The Whitby is a full-service co-op and features one of the most spectacular roof decks in Midtown West with 360 degree, open city views. Amenities include a 24/7 doorman, new laundry room, storage, bike room, FIOS and a grand, newly renovated, Art Deco-inspired lobby. It is convenient to all major transportation and an abundance of restaurants, cafes and entertainment.
The Whitby is pied-a-terre, co-purchasing and pet-friendly.
