This gorgeous prewar apartment has been completely reimagined by the current owners. What was once a cramped 3BR/1BA is now a 2BR/2BA home with a welcoming entry foyer flanked by a coat closet and a walk-in closet that doubles as a convertible home office.
The new configuration - with two bedrooms separated by two gorgeous bathrooms and a laundry closet - allows for serene separation and privacy. The primary bedroom, with a spacious closet and king-sized bed, has discreet pocket doors that open into the living room, allowing for the stunning morning sunlight to flood in when desired. The junior bedroom is also spacious enough for a king bed, and has its own walk-in closet. The apartment features high ceilings throughout.
The immaculate bathrooms - one with a deep-soaking tub, the other with a stall shower - will enchant you with their porcelain tile floors and walls, and chic, light-up vanity mirrors. The inviting windowed kitchen is a jewel, with quartz counters, custom cabinetry, matching white GE range and dishwasher, and a perfect breakfast bar with hideaway stools.
Follow the sunshine into the east and southeast-facing living room, which leans out over the broad Parisian-style Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard. Nearly a perfect square, this sunny and airy room is easily set up in your favorite seating and entertainment configuration with room for a dining nook. Apt 52’s renovation included new oak hardwood floors, recessed lighting, upgraded electric capacity, new plumbing, radiators and windows, solid-wood doors throughout, and your own in-unit washing machine (with room for a stackable dryer). The list goes on, and the more time you spend in the unit, the more thoughtful touches you will notice!
