106 W 116th Street #7-A

With jaw-dropping light and air, this is finally the home you have been waiting for. Light streams in from a whopping fourteen (14) windows with three different open exposures. Not every day does such a gracious home come to the market. On the 7th floor, exit the elevator onto a semi-private hallway shared with only one other apartment. Once you enter the home, you can start to appreciate its proportions with a wide entry foyer big enough for a bench and side table plus a double coat closet. You will be drawn immediately to the large living room with 9.5 foot ceilings and modern streamlined white lacquer built-in storage system that hides away your electronics and can display a beautiful book collection. To the north, a large wall of windows and glass door is your access point for the private open-air terrace which adds another 364 SF of living space and allows the unit owner a quiet escape from a busy life in the city. The kitchen has a large granite countertop, custom red wood cabinetry, and a gas Viking range. The stainless-steel kitchen package is rounded out with a dishwasher, microwave, and fridge by GE Profile. Just outside of the open kitchen is a formal dining area which is separated from the living area and can comfortably accommodate your dinner parties. Towards the sunny south side of the apartment, the master suite takes advantage of the high ceilings and has some of the most built-in, in-unit storage you can find. The lofted bed area maintains cozy 6'8" foot ceilings and about 240 cubic feet of open storage underneath for large containers, golf clubs, suitcases, "Costco-sized" supplies... The ensuite master features deep-soaking tub and marble floors. The second bedroom is not small by any standard and can easily accommodate a king size bed, or a crib + nursing chair, changing table, dresser... and there are big windows in both the master and 2nd bedroom with private views to the south. On the north side of the apartment, the third bedroom is far enough away to act as the perfect quiet office or guest suite. Next to this large third bedroom is another (3rd) full guest bathroom. Other benefits include: - A deeded private storage unit. - Virtual doorman monitors and allows for guest access and package delivery 24/7/365. - Gym/workout room on the ground floor with natural light and great equipment. - Two (2) common outdoor spaces including 1) a furnished garden patio on the ground floor, and 2) furnished common south-facing roof terrace on the sixth floor. - Bike storage available. - Express 2/3 trains literally downstairs.
