Enter this seamlessly combined and stunning pre-war abode via a gracious entry foyer and find a bright loft-like, double-width living/dining room overlooking 72nd Street. The oversized north-facing windows are finished with a stretch of custom-designed window seats and drawers, increasing seating and storage in their respective rooms. The just-renovated kitchen has a breakfast bar that opens into the dining space and boasts top-of-the-line appliances, including a Wolf stove, a vented hood, and copious white wood cabinetry.
Presently functioning as a 3 bedroom with a den with 3 full bathrooms, the den could easily also serve as a 4th bedroom. Two bedrooms are accessible from the living space and have a shared bathroom. The third and fourth bedrooms/den are accessible via the entry gallery and on the other side of the apartment. That area also includes a beautifully custom-designed built-in office area.
The primary bedroom, which is very separate and private and adjacent to the den/ 4th bedroom, has an enormous walk-in closet and windowed bathroom.
This home is complete with a full-size washer/dryer and new wide-plank hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, an abundance of storage, and window A/C units in each room.
