310 W 105th Street #2

UWS Landmarked Duplex Gem w/ Roof Terrace! It is a true rarity that a home as magical and unique as this one comes to market. Situated on a landmarked, bucolic block just off of Riverside park, this spectacular duplex residence - a three bedroom, easily converted to four - combines glorious old world charm and detail, with comfortable luxury. A private elevator, used exclusively by its owners, opens to the home's first floor, featuring an expansive yet welcoming open foyer with 10-foot ceilings. Gorgeous antique beveled and leaded glass sliding doors reveal a light-filled living room, replete with working gas fireplace and an abundance of thoughtfully built-in bookshelves. The first level also boasts a home office, charming powder room, a south-facing den and dining area with decorative fireplace. Formerly owned by a professional pastry chef, the large kitchen features ample counter space, a spectacular Vulcan 60" 6 burner professional chef stove with two ovens and a generously sized walk-in pantry. Off of the main foyer, a lovely staircase leads to its second floor, which comprises three bedrooms and two full baths. The gracious, light-filled primary bedroom boasts dramatic arched windows, as well as a decorative fireplace and an en suite bathroom. One of the bedrooms opens out to an enchanting outdoor deck - a perfect spot for coffee and the Sunday paper. A fourth sky-lit room on this floor could be used as an additional office but is currently configured as a teen bedroom with loft bed. The second floor also includes a sky-lit laundry room with a full-sized washer and vented dryer and enormous linen closet. Pre-war moldings and details abound, including gracefully arched entryways. All views from its north-facing windows look past the trees and across to 105th Street's beautiful, landmarked historic brownstones. The home's second floor is equipped with central air conditioning. The staircase continues to this incredible home's pice de resistance: a sweeping roof terrace with full kitchen! Spanning end to end of the brownstone's roof, the sumptuous, landscaped terrace is divided into two separate areas -- one geared toward cooking and dining al fresco, and the other for relaxing, socializing and watching outdoor movies. A built-in irrigation system allows fuss-free gardening, and the outdoor custom-built stainless L-shaped kitchen island features a DCS by Fisher & Paykel 6 burner (92,000 BTU) grill with rotisserie and smoker. This gracious, private, well-appointed home - with incredibly low monthlies - is truly one of a kind and awaits someone in search of its very special magic... A boutique condominium comprising only two units, 310 West 105th Street's owners also pride themselves on its pristine, charm-filled lobby and gigantic, immaculate basement. The building is situated just steps from Riverside Park but is also only a few short blocks from the 103rd Street subway stop (1/2/3 lines), as well as some of the Upper West Side's best restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops -- including Serafina, Silver Moon Bakery, Plowshares and many more. Pets are allowed. A generous basement space with full workbench and storage is transferred with ownership, including bike storage. *Note: the home's private elevator offers primary access; there is only limited use of stairs.
