BRIGHT RENOVATED MOVE-IN PRE-WAR BY PARK HANDSOME, SUN-KISSED SOUTH-FACER ON THE TREE-LINE WELCOME HERE: Pets, Pied-a-terres & Co-Purchases (case-by-case) How does a super prime location by Riverside Park - on uber-convenient West 72nd Street - offer such a sweet, peaceful, residential secret like this one? How does a somewhat predictable pre-war area suddenly have amongst its offerings this rare, renovated, sun-kissed home? How is a value-forward home like this quietly positioned right here in the middle of it all? Just when you thought you could not be surprised... Proudly situated on the terrific treeline, this Schwartz & Gross 1924 space has been lovingly re-imagined and re-invented. The heart-warming period detail and ~9-ft beamed ceilings are intact, but the design and layout have a new sensibility -- a stretch-out, bright plan that makes sense for today. The architectural and treetop views are comforting, as is the timeless - but not-boring - soul of this feel-good find. Enter the foyer and flow gracefully to the sizable open living dining space. Big entertaining and intimate moments both happen organically here. Served by a beautiful, renovated well-scaled, open windowed kitchen with stone-capped dining counter, ample custom cabinets, and top-shelf appliances (including a wine fridge & dishwasher), life here is easy and fun. The big, bright bedroom suite is king-sized and has room for a sitting/work area, custom built-ins, good closets (one walk-in!), and an en-suite, windowed, classic, marble bath with a spa-like step-in shower. Underfoot are handsome hardwood floors, above you ceilings soar, and all around there is light and loveliness. Closets and storage are ample, laundry is in the building, the super is live-in, there are bike and storage rooms, and nearby are the area's most convenient offerings. Riverside Park is practically next door, Trader Joe's is up the street (+ Fairway, Citarella & HMart), the 1/2/3 and B/C trains are close, so is Central Park, as are the Upper Westside's best dining, shopping, cultural, entertainment and fitness destinations. Think you've seen it all on the Upper West? Think again. Welcome to a divinely dandy park-side surprise.
