OPEN-PLAN LIVING-DINING-KITCHEN w/CENTRAL AC & WASHER/DRYER (Hook-up) & PRIVATE STORAGE CAGE
BEAUTY + FATE = LUCKY YOU
When opportunity meets preparedness, it's called luck. When style meets function, it's called beauty. When you meet this stupendous 3 bedroom home, it's called fate.
Lovingly renovated down to its studs by the current owner, and sweetly situated on the quiet, bright backside of its elegant 1915 building -- on one of the Upper Westside's prime Riverside Park blocks -- this happy home's rarity rests in its reinvented layout, mindful renovation, timeless character, and its feel-good vibe.
High ceilings, original antique doors, an open plan layout, four exposures, exposed brick, wide-planked hardwood floors, and practical-meets-pretty upgrades blend handsomely with Pre World War One grace and scale, creating an easy elegance. The lovable result is a remarkably comfortable home full of comfort, style and easy living.
The open-plan, double-corner living and dining rooms, with their high ceilings, and their signature horizontal run of four windows, beam brightly with architectural views and peeks of neighboring gardens. Graced by an open chef's kitchen with dining bar, this lofted space brings a downtown vibe to this rare uptown home. The over-scaled kitchen enjoys impressive counters and custom cabinet space, and premium appliances (Sub Zero fridge, Wolf 6 burner range and stove, Wolf pro microwave and warming drawer and Bosch ultra quiet dishwasher) -- not to mention a Rohl faucet and pot filler, pull out pantry, spice cabinet, broom closet and appliance garage. Rich with character and lofty soul, this impressive space is well-suited for entertaining and relaxing.
The residential wing of this home is off of the gallery hall, and feels nicely separate from the entertaining rooms. The queen-sized guest bedrooms have a good scale, offer flexibility, peace and tranquility, and are served by a big, full, renovated, marble bath (w/step in shower w/rainhead shower & body jets, Signature hardware, and Toto bidet toilet) and good custom closet space. The king-sized primary bedroom is a large corner abode with four windows, a custom walk-in closet, and a windowed, en ensuite marble bath with soaking tub, step-in shower (w/jetted massage and rainhead shower), dual sinks, Signature hardware, Toto bidet toilet, and a washer/dryer hook-up. These rooms, like the rest of this special home, offer room to stretch out and enjoy an expansive life.
Sweetly positioned in a heart-warming elevator building by Riverside Park (Dinosaur Playground!), this classic residence is served by building laundry, included private storage, bike rooms, Butterfly virtual doorman service, and a location that comes with bragging rights. Nearby are the 24-hour Westside Market, and there is a Whole Foods close by on Columbus Avenue, and a Trader Joe’s on 93rd Street. The area is also filled with fantastic dining and shopping such as the Friday Farmer's Market on 97th Street, and the 1/2/3 trains and crosstown bus are merely one block away.
Here is the parkside, pet friendly, sweetheart-of-a-home for which you've been waiting. Beauty and fate - lucky you.
