THE BEST HOME ON THE UPPER WEST SIDE - Luxury prewar living is updated for a modern lifestyle. This interior has been completely renovated from the original 12 rooms to 8, creating a wonderfully spacious home. All moldings and doors were reproduced in the prewar style of the original apartment while preserving the high cove ceilings and hardwood floors. From the moment you step off the elevator you enter your own private vestibule. Inside, an elegant foyer leads you to a large open living room with an adjoining media room, library with wet bar, powder room and a large formal dining room that can seat 12 for large gatherings. The enormous cook's kitchen has an abundance of storage cabinets, large counter work stations, European appliances including a full height wine cooler and a laundry area with a standard sized washer and dryer. This home currently has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, including a master suite with 2 large bathroom /dressing rooms- hers with a Jacuzzi tub, his with a steam shower; both with river views. However the layout can easily accommodate 4 or 5 bedrooms. The west facing bath/dressing room with Jacuzzi can be restored back to a bedroom as shown on the alternate floor plan and the Library can also easily become a bedroom once again as it is accessible to the powder room (which was a full bath originally.) This is an unusual New York City offering for owners interested in a unique gracious space perfect for entertaining.
