Exceptional views overlooking the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir welcome you home to this 2-bedroom 2-bathroom apartment.
The spacious living area offers north and east vistas of Central Park through every window and is spacious enough for a generous living area as well as a large dining table. Ideal for entertaining! The large, open, updated chef's kitchen has granite countertops, a glass-tile backsplash, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch refrigerator, a Samsung Duo Door range (two ovens), and a whisper-quiet Miele dishwasher.
All the hard work has been done. New windows, recessed LED lighting, HVAC, built-in LG television with Sonos sound bar, and custom closets throughout. Recessed ceiling speakers are available in every room for your sound system.
The sizeable primary bedroom has a north-facing window with more park views and custom-built closets for maximum storage. The windowed gut-renovated ensuite bathroom features a walk-in glass shower, double sinks set in Grigio Toscana marble, a Carrara marble mosaic tile floor, Kohler fixtures and a stacked Bosch washer and dryer.
The second bedroom faces east and has a huge picture window providing superb Central Park views. This sunny room, currently set up as a sitting room, has many uses. It can quickly adapt to an office with its built-in Resource Furniture desk and shelving, or turn into a bedroom with the incredibly comfortable custom queen-size Resource Furniture Murphy bed. Pocket doors to the living room provide privacy. The centrally located second full bath has brand-new Kohler fixtures, slate tiles, a glass walk-in shower with body jets, and plenty of storage.
The Orwell House, built in 1906 has an elegant lobby, 24-hr doormen, live-in super, bike room, package room, parking with a waitlist, and central laundry. A brand new roof deck and gym will be ready for use this fall. Renovation of both passenger elevators is nearly complete. Enjoy the history and culture of the Upper West Side! You will be surrounded by Central Park, including the Reservoir, Shakespeare in the Park, Strawberry Fields, and the Great Lawn. Gourmet shopping at Citarella and Fairway is blocks away. Transportation options are B and C subway and M86 and M10 buses, all right outside the door.
The Orwell House is pet-friendly and allows pied-a-terre and up to 75% financing.
