This sun-splashed, garden-facing three-bedroom, two-bathroom home wows with classic prewar proportions, designer updates, and a sprawling layout in a stately prewar co-op just one block from Central Park. Facing the leafy courtyard, this lobby-level home is both easily accessible and utterly quiet and peaceful.
Elevated above ground level at the quiet rear of the building, this designer home welcomes you inside with high, beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, tall baseboards and lovely picture-frame molding. An enclosed foyer with a large coat closet makes an elegant first impression, while French doors open to the expansive great room lined with oversized south-facing windows and lush courtyard views. Enjoy a generous footprint for spacious seating and dining areas, or even a grand piano, in this bright and airy space.
Across the hall, the beautifully updated, windowed kitchen impresses with rows of crisp white cabinetry, marble countertops, and tile backsplashes surrounding upscale appliances, including a Blue Star four-burner gas range, a 36-inch KitchenAid refrigerator/freezer, a cabinet-front dishwasher, and built-in microwave. The breakfast bar and pantry add wonderful convenience, while the bar area makes entertaining effortless with two Sub-Zero wine refrigerators.
Sleep soundly in the serene primary suite, featuring a king-size bedroom with a ceiling fan, a walk-in closet, and a windowed bathroom with an oversized tub/shower, pedestal sink, and linen storage. A secondary bedroom in this wing is positioned next to a windowed guest bathroom with a glass shower. With a wall of built-ins and direct access to both the great room and kitchen, the third bedroom is equally ideal as a den, home office or media lounge. Through-the-wall air-conditioning adds year-round comfort. With no more climbing stairs or waiting for elevators, you'll enjoy easy arrivals and departures from this superb Upper West Side sanctuary.
