PRIVATE “HOUSE” WITHIN A FULL SERVICE BUILDING -- BIG, BRIGHT & QUIET DUPLEXED 4BR 3BTH w/LARGE KITCHEN, WASHER/DRYER, BONUS OFFICE & IMMENSE CLOSETS/STORAGE

If you’re looking for all the comforts of a real “house” with space, brightness, and character, then you’ll love this rare duplex in one of the Upper West Side’s most treasured areas, an upstairs-downstairs layout with all of the amenities of a supremely located, well-run full-service Prewar building.

The upper floor has a bright, lofty great room that is served by a full bath. This space flows seamlessly into a large windowed kitchen with ample counter space, cabinets galore, a generous pantry, and stainless appliances. Also upstairs is a sizable flexible bedroom, perfect for guests, a live-in helper or gym/office/den. These well-scaled rooms with 9.5’ high beamed ceilings create an open living, dining, entertaining space that anchor the home.

A straight staircase leads downstairs to three large bedrooms off a gracious hallway. The large primary bedroom offers an en suite windowed bath with a large dual shower. Two more oversized bedrooms and a large bathroom with full size vented washer/dryer and a bonus office round out the lower level. To top it off, having no neighbors above you makes the sleeping spaces all the more quiet.

With ingenious use of space, there is ample closet space throughout, including a walk-in under-stair storage area, three coat closets, a liquor/wine closet, built-in media center, and large clothes closets in every bedroom. And if that’s not enough, the apartment comes with two dedicated storage bins in the building's basement.

Designed by prized architect Emery Roth in 1925, this Central-Park block beauty is well positioned in its well-run, well-staffed building. The big lobby is classic, the courtyard has a basketball space, there are storage/bike/laundry rooms, ping pong, a playroom, and there is a live-in Super. Pet and pied-a-terre friendly, the enviable location of this home has supreme access to the area's best dining, shopping, cultural, fitness, and entertainment destinations. With Central Park on your block, the Columbus Avenue Shopping Corridor (Whole Foods & more) right up the street, and a plethora of easy transportation options (1, 2, 3, B, C trains & crosstown bus) nearby, life here is easy, convenient, flexible, and fun.
