Description

Experience timeless elegance in this exquisite Classic Six apartment at The Barrington, a pre-war condo on a prime block of the Upper West Side. This captivating pre-war condo offers two bedrooms, two bathroom plus a third flex room, which all seamlessly blend old-world charm with contemporary finishes in a sophisticated urban retreat. Step through the door and be immediately enveloped by the grandeur of a long foyer that sets the stage for the refined style that awaits. With rich architectural details and meticulous pre-war elements intact, the living and dining rooms showcase stunning French doors, intricate millwork with paneled walls, crown moldings and beautiful hardwood floors throughout.

The apartment’s high ceilings add a layer of opulence and craftsmanship which create a feel of scale and volume of the space. The sun-filled ambiance is bathed in natural light, thanks to large picturesque windows with Southwest and Southeast exposures in the entertaining spaces. The heart of this home is the beautifully renovated windowed Chef’s kitchen, featuring top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, natural stone-colored countertops, sleek white custom cabinetry, generous culinary storage and the original tin ceiling to feature the pre-war charm. Retreat to the tranquil primary bedroom, a sanctuary that offers generous closet space and ample space for a king-size bed and more.

The second bedroom is equally inviting, and both provide a cozy haven and a calm ambiance. The traditional staff room has been transformed into a home office, and has a flexible use for a small third bedroom, as well. Both bathrooms are pristine with a crisp white tiled design, with the en-suite bath featuring modern fixtures and spa-like deep soaking tub.

Generous closets throughout and an in-unit washer/dryer complete this beautiful apartment. The Barrington offers full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, storage bins for a fee, bike room, and central laundry room. Located in the heart of the Upper West Side’s most vibrant neighborhood, it is just one block from shopping, fine dining, and transportation. This pre-war condo is conveniently located close to all public transportation, Zabars, Fairway Market and The Museum of Natural History.
