119 W 71ST Street #8C

Ideally located in the heart of Lincoln Square, Apartment 8C, at 119 West 71st Street is a beautifully renovated and cared-for two bedroom home that combines the best of early New York pre-war architecture with the modern convenience and flair of today's comfort and lifestyle. The entry foyer of the rarely offered "C line" at 119 West 71 leads to the expansive, double-width living and dining room with high ceilings, hardwood bamboo floors and room to entertain in comfort and style. An elegantly designed custom built-in feature wall houses a clean-burning working fireplace and a brand new 65 inch Samsung hardwired television with built-in sound bar for cinema quality entertainment. The formal dining room comfortably seats eight for dinner and was opened to the living room and kitchen to create a true "great room." With four windows facing north, these cheerful rooms receive soothing natural light all day, yet are well insulated from the sounds of the city. The windowed and renovated cook's kitchen boasts plentiful storage, solid wood and glass-fronted custom cabinetry, expansive granite counter tops and a separate pantry that features a full size washer and vented dryer. A French door leads to two generous, bright and quiet bedrooms- the master easily accommodating a king size bed, along with a seating area or home office. The renovated windowed bathroom is classically designed with new white subway tile and a full-size tub. This special home perfectly blends the best of pre-war charm with a modern touch and no detail was overlooked. 119 West 71st Street is a charming 1916 much beloved co-operative that offers the convenience of a resident superintendent and full-time porter as well as a new video intercom system. There is storage and a bike room, as well as additional central laundry. Through-wall AC is permitted with board approval and pets are welcome. This quiet, boutique co-op is tucked away on a lovely tree-lined block in one of the most coveted locations in Manhattan- 71st Street and Columbus Avenue- amidst shops, restaurants, schools, two subway lines and Central and Riverside Parks.
