311 W 83RD Street #5-C

Here is your chance to have your very own private rooftop oasis: approximately 700 square feet of finished deck space with built-in grill, fully functioning water and irrigation, electric, and a cable hookup. You won't find a better place to entertain on summer nights, or relax with a glass of wine on a breezy spring evening. And youÂ?ll get all of this in a beautiful 2BR/2.5BA, expansive renovated duplex without having to sacrifice the elevator, interior space, quality, or the four-six million dollars it costs to get this kind of private outdoor space anywhere else in Manhattan. Located in a well-run co-op, Unit 5C is the crown jewel of the four top floor penthouse duplexes, as it faces both south and west and has the most streamlined layout. It enjoys southern exposure from all rooms, allowing light to stream in from tree-lined 83rd Street. Remodeled in 2012, the unit boasts hardwood floors throughout, fully-renovated open kitchen with stainless steel refrigerator and double freezer, dishwasher, 15-bottle wine fridge, new lighting and air-conditioning, washer/dryer, and ELFA-system custom closets throughout the entire apartment. The main floor enters into a foyer with two closets before turning left into a sprawling, 32-foot living room that's exquisitely laid out for entertaining including a charming balcony and original functioning wood-burning fireplace. Off the living room is a spacious bedroom with two closets, a Juliet balcony of its own, and a private full bathroom. A powder room for guests sits just off the main floor before you reach the primary suite on the second floor, which counts another full bathroom and two more closets, including a walk-in, amongst its goodies. From there you can step outside onto the roof deck(s) whenever your heart desires! This fully pet-friendly elevator building is a delightful place to live, located just steps from the entrance to gorgeous Riverside Park and all the shopping, restaurants and nightlife of Broadway and the Upper West Side. The Children's Museum of Manhattan (CMOC) is also just one block away. Catch the 1 Train at 79th Street, crosstown bus at 86th, or take a leisurely walk to the express trains at 72nd. Sorry, no pied-a-terres. Welcome home!
