This five-star, triple-mint home has been painstakingly and lovingly restored and is the quintessential Upper West Side home. The building itself was designed in 1913 by J.E.R. Carpenter, one of the greatest architects of pre-war luxury apartment buildings in the city. This lovely and elegant two-bedroom/two-bathroom home has soaring ceilings and the gracious layout and spacious rooms make this an ideal home for entertaining. From the moment you step into the entry foyer, you will see that this apartment is like no other on the market. The oversized living room with recently restored herringbone floors and southern and western exposure from its oversized windows also features a wood-burning fireplace, custom bookshelves, and cabinetry along with recessed lighting. The kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances ... Kitchen Aid dishwasher, Miele stovetop, a Kitchen Aid oven, a Sub-zero refrigerator, an Asko dryer, and a Marvelle wine cooler. Granite countertops and new cabinets complete the picture. All of the air-conditioning in the apartment is thru the wall and concealed in beautiful marble-topped cabinets that also conceal the radiators. There are Toto toilets in both marble bathrooms as well as a window in the master. The master bedroom has a tremendous walk-in closet that is the size of many bedrooms in Manhattan and beautifully handmade, silk wall-to-wall carpeting. The second bedroom which is even larger than the master has a wood-burning fireplace and an en-suite bath as well. The building itself has a laundry room, bike room, and common storage in the basement as well as a 24-hour doorman and live-in super. It is steps from Riverside Park, upscale boutiques, and gourmet supermarkets, and only one block away from the 72nd Street Express subway stop! What more could you ask for? Hurry before it's gone!
