Offered for the first time in over 30 years, this classic high floor 3 bedroom apartment at the coveted Dorilton is a beautiful example of pre-war luxury and elegance. Upon entering the foyer, the home welcomes you with original architectural splendor, including herringbone & inlaid parquet hardwood floors, lavish moldings and woodwork, and restored plasterwork throughout. The unique layout has a central gallery from which three public reception rooms radiate: a light-filled living room, a library/den and the beautiful, grand dining room, which has a spectacular coffered ceiling. All three rooms feature original fireplaces. The chef?s kitchen includes a large center island, beautiful hardwood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a commercial-grade range and oven. A laundry area is located off the kitchen in the service hall. The primary bedroom has large closets, a fireplace and an en-suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms and bathrooms complete this highly desirable residence. The Dorilton is a landmark Upper West Side co-operative that was originally built in 1902. The building?s jewel-like exterior is widely considered one of New York?s finest examples of the French Beaux-Arts style, with 12 stories and a stunning facade that is crowned by a distinctive mansard roof. The Dorilton features a full-time doorman, live-in super, gorgeous roof garden, outdoor courtyard, basement storage, bike room, and is pet-friendly. All of this located within just 2 blocks of Central Park, adjacent to the convergence of Broadway, Amsterdam & West 71st St, and convenient to transportation.
