Property Details
Description
Nestled in the vibrant Upper West Side is this charming, high-floor, alcove studio #15E in the storied Majestic building at 215 W. 75th Street. During Prohibition, this prewar beauty hid a labyrinth of hidden stairways and secret rooms comprising famed madam Polly Adler's brothel. It had unique touches like an Asian-inspired mah-jongg room and a bar resembling the recently discovered King Tut's tomb. Now, 215 W 75th St #15E offers the perfect blend of classic appeal and modern convenience in the same, charming and utterly central location.
With a formal entry, 9.5-foot beamed ceilings, large windows, new quarter-sawn, white oak floors, skim coated walls and trackless glass sliders separating the sleeping alcove, the atmosphere is open and airy. Because the beautifully renovated, eat-in kitchen is completely separate, this alcove studio operates like a one bedroom with a massive, dedicated living room. The new and classically renovated kitchen boasts gray Pentalquartz counters, an Arabescara honed marble backsplash, Bosch and Fisher Paykel stainless appliances (including a dishwasher) and a Zephyr Breeze range hood. The lovely renovated and windowed bath with basketweave tiling can be made en suite behind the bedroom slider. You'll also love the northern exposure, offering delightful reflected light throughout the day.
The building offers stunning city views from the gorgeously planted roof deck, a convenient central laundry (although washer/dryers are allowed with board approval), and the enhanced security of a part-time doorman, full-time porters and a live-in superintendent. Pets, pieds-a-terre, co-purchasing and gifting are all considered. The location offers easy access to local and express subways and buses, a myriad of dining spots, and the trifecta of grocery stores: Citarella, Trader Joes AND Fairway. Need a workout or just a wind-down? The building is in between both Equinox and the JCC, and Central and Riverside Parks. Experience firsthand the charm and comfort of this lovely home by scheduling a personal tour with the exclusive agents. When it's yours, just maybe you'll get a glimpse of one of Polly's secret stairways!
