Description
CAPTURE A 2nd BR HERE - LIGHT - VIEW - SPACE Need a 2nd bedroom? Capture it here ? see alternate floorplan. Need a pied-a-terre or guarantor or co-purchaser? Welcome home. Need stunning city and bridge views? You?ve got that in spades. Dramatic views of NYC and the iconic 59th Street Bridge reign supreme from the East-facing wall of windows in your double-width, corner living room. This is the big, rare, flexible (see alternate floor plan) residence that has it all. In the midst of a supremely convenient location, this expansive oasis is perfectly positioned in its prime, coveted, full-service building. Here is your ideal residence ? a big, bright, cheerful, inspiring, well-planned, upgraded, restful and roomy retreat that is ideal for entertaining, regrouping, recharging, and relaxing. The over-scaled living room offers an open dining area, and is fully graced by its signature dramatic views. An open, stone dining bar conveniently overlooks the living room, the awesome views, and an attractive and practical windowed kitchen -- a cook-pleasing area with good appliances and ample counter/cabinet space. The bonus den is a flexible space ? one that is easily re-imagined (see alternate floor plan) as a guest space or office -- a room to fill all of your growing needs. The sweet foyer unfolds into a space currently used as a dining gallery ? well situated by the upgraded kitchen and dining bar. The king-sized bedroom suite offers dual designer closets, an elegant distance from the living/dining rooms, ultra-quiet City Windows, and is served by an upgraded, dual-sink, windowed, well-planned, designer bathroom. With an enviable array of designer closets and storage, thoughtful finishes, a smart/gracious layout, and those glorious five-star views, this big beauty is easy-to-live and easy-to-love. With a location that comes with bragging rights, this Mid-Century Modern enjoys perfect positioning in its full-service building with live-in Super and bike/storage/laundry rooms. At your doorstep is most every world-class NYC shopping, dining, design, and cultural destination ? not to mention a plethora of easy transportation options, and nearby Central Park. Here?s the hero home that stands out for all the right reasons. A bigger, brighter life awaits.
