Step back in time and step into the future. Down the block from Central Park, this 1 bedroom smart apartment marries new technology with brownstone charm. Designed by the owner-architect to maximize space, the high-reaching 12' 5' ceilings allow for two separate, cleverly-designed mezzanine lofts. One loft area, with a 6' ceiling, is currently used as a dressing room, while the other, with a 5' 4' ceiling, is used as a sleeping loft. On the main level is an additional bedroom, overlooking the garden. Situated on the parlor floor of a 1920's brownstone, the apartment has historic touches that bring warmth to the home, such as grand oversized windows, hardwood floors and exposed brick. Southern exposure bathes the space in natural light. Newly renovated details bring the home into the 21st century energy efficient recessed LED fully dimmable lights with Lutron dimming switches throughout the home, humidity sensor with active venting fan in the bathroom, Haiku L-series Smart fan, Nest smoke detectors, high-powered recessed LED lights, and Friedrich Kuhl air conditioner with smart controls in the living room. Beautiful and high quality fixtures throughout the home include a Bertazzoni range, a Fisher & Paykel fridge, a Miele dishwasher and Grohe faucet in the kitchen and a Duravit sink and tub and Grohe plumbing fixtures in the bathroom. This is an excellent opportunity for a first-time buyer looking for that quintessential brownstone home in one of the best areas of the Upper West Side. Subletting, pets, pied-a-terre, parents buying for children, and guarantors all OK, subject to Board Approval. ** Storage unit included 24 Sq ft and 7 ft high** 2% flip tax paid by seller
