Manhattan Valley, Manhattan, NY 10025

Exceptionally large, 3 bed, 2 bath apartment in one of the most desirable buildings in Manhattan Valley. Currently configured as a 2 bed, living room and formal dining room, the layout is easily converted to a 3 bedroom apartment with a large living/dining area plus den, see alternate floor plan. The apartment has all of the desirable prewar attributes - 9 foot beamed ceilings, herringbone, parquet and strip oak floors, picture molding and abundant closets.

Enter into a roomy hall, to the right is a huge foyer that can be used as an extra room, an office, a den or a playroom. There are two enormous closets, one of which is perfect for a washer dryer. If you walk straight in from the entry hall, you come to the kitchen in which the owner lovingly maintained the original cabinets with hook closures. Off the kitchen is the half bath. The kitchen opens to the formal dining room large enough to accommodate dining for 12 or more. Next to the dining room is the stately living room which can be easily converted into a den and a third bedroom, see alternate floor plan. The primary bedroom faces west with tree top views and has a windowed ensuite bath with separate shower and walk in closet. The second bedroom also has a windowed ensuite bath and enormous walk in closet.

This stately building was built in 1929 and features a beautiful lobby with terrazzo floors, tasteful furniture and regularly changed flowering plants. There is a spectacular roof deck with mature plantings, comfortable furniture and gorgeous panoramic views. It even has an herb garden where you can pick a little basil for dinner. The basement has a large, spotlessly clean laundry room, playroom, storage room and bike storage. Each side of the building has two elevators for your convenience. This is a full service building with an exceptional staff, 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, handyman and porters. Pets are welcome! No Pied- -terre's please. The building is located between Riverside and Central Park, and has excellent transportation options - the 1, B and C trains, a short distance to the express at 96th Street, the M104 Bus and M60 to LaGuardia. It is a vibrant neighborhood, close to Columbia University, St. John the Divine and Riverside Church, with lots of excellent restaurants and gourmet food stores to choose from. Absolute Bagels is right downstairs, Silver Moon bakery, Serefina and Mama's Too Pizza are right down the street.
