Description
Enjoy coffee on your terrace, or perhaps cozy up in front of your wood burning fireplace. Welcome to this charming third floor, split two bedroom, two bathroom floor through walk up apartment. Adding to the charm are exposed brick walls in the dining area, living room and primary bedroom.
The dining area can easily accommodate a table for six, and is adjacent to the kitchen. Two steps down take you into the sunken living room with a wood burning fireplace and a large north facing window.
A private bedroom hall leads to the primary bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom can accommodate a king size bed and two side tables. Two south facing windows look into the treetops. There is a renovated bathroom with a tub and shower. Abundant closet space will help you keep your apartment organized and clutter free.
The second bedroom, with its own bathroom, faces townhouse gardens, including a gracious old magnolia tree. This room makes a wonderful second bedroom, or a serene office space. Your 6'x9' terrace is large enough for a cafe table and chairs.
There are through wall air conditioners in the living room and bedrooms.
This self-managed co-operative townhouse building consists of five apartments. There is laundry and storage space in the basement.
Pets are permitted at the discretion of the board.
This townhouse was one of five in a row, designed by renowned Spanish architect Rafael Guastavino, and completed in 1886. The townhouses, no two alike, contain Moorish motifs blended with Romanesque and a touch of Queen Anne, and contain the famous Guastavino Arch.
West 78th Street, between Columbus and Amsterdam, was named 10th best block in NYC in Time Out New York. The West 78th St. Association organizes block parties several times a year, including the widely known Halloween Block Party.
Nearby Central Park has concerts and theater all summer long. Take your puppy to the dog park at the American Museum of Natural History. Zabars on Broadway and 80th Street can make a delicious dinner for you, or send you home with supplies for a cooking adventure.
