Description

BIG RENOVATED 3BR 3BTH in PRIME LINCOLN SQUARE

DOUBLE-CORNER PRE-WAR CLASSIC IN FULL SERVICE BUILDING

WELCOME HERE: Pied-a-terres, pets, gifting and guarantors — and generous sublet policy (case by case).

Fully renovated back to its studs, and mindfully reinvented for today, this 1903 classic is the ideal mix of good form and great function. The beautiful result is a timeless home that is smartly suited for all of your growing needs. Above you, ceilings soar to ~12 feet, underfoot are handsome hardwood floors, and everywhere you look is classic beauty.

The welcoming foyer is this hub of this feel-good home. From this gracious core, all of the well-scaled rooms elegantly flow. The large living room is a stretch-out corner space with a stunning decorative fireplace, big windows, marvelous moldings, and room for dining.

The good looking kitchen is immensely practical, offering top-shelf appliances, ample cabinets and stone counters. With an ideal scale and a perfect position by its just-open-enough kitchen, easy living and comfortable entertaining happen effortlessly in this happy home.

All three bedrooms are separate from one another, thoughtfully allowing you and yours to be alone together with gracious privacy.

The king-sized primary bedroom is a corner suite with dual exposures on the tree-line (cross breezes, anyone?) and — like every room in this residence — offers super-high ceilings. Served by a wall of designer closets, and a beautiful, en-suite, marble windowed bath, this suite is a sweet treat. The two guest bedrooms are sizable and quiet, one with an en suite marble bath, and the other served by a designer hall bath.

An in-home washer/dryer and good, custom closet space round out the easy-to-live vibe that permeates this winsome home.

Sweetly positioned in the bright Southeast and Southwest corners of its historical building, this expansive home is a fully upgraded residential treasure. Enjoying the full-services of its well run, financially fit building's round-the-clock staff and resident superintendent, life here is easy, comfortable, and fun. Just beyond the lobby is supreme access to Central Park, Lincoln Center, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, the Beacon Theatre, the 1-2-3 and B-C trains, the shops at Columbus Circle, and every brag-gable Upper Westside destination.

Pied-a-terres, pets, gifting and guarantors are welcome (case by case), and a generous sublet policy provides for flexible ownership.
