Description

This stunning two-bedroom, three-bathroom home offers over 2,150 SF of sophisticated living space across two levels, highlighted by impressive 17' ceilings.

This grand scale 33 x 23 great room features over 17' coffered ceilings and 72 panes of south facing windows.

This bright, private and spacious space is truly one-of-a-kind . The gourmet kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and elegant granite counters. There is a separate home office on the main floor and a large bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Upstairs, you'll find another bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom.

All three bathrooms have been beautifully renovated with top-quality fixtures and finishes. There is a full-sized washer and dryer within and central air conditioning throughout.

Located on Central Park South, just east of Columbus Circle, Gainsborough Studios is a unique landmark building rich in prewar character. Originally built in 1905 as an apartment hotel for artists, it was quickly converted into a cooperative.

The recently restored fa ade features a striking bust of Thomas Gainsborough and an original frieze titled "A Festival Procession of the Arts," making it a truly distinctive property. The financials of Gainsborough Studio are in pristine condition and there is a healthy reserve fund. Residents enjoy full-time doorman service and the rarity of an elevator attendant.

Pets and pied- -terre are welcome. This unit may be used as a home or an office and as a combination live/work space.
