Here is the rarely available, coveted, overscaled G-Line condo home at the most artful level. From this prized floor, the postcard perfect, bright Eastern views of magnificent Museum Park loom large. From the over-scaled picture window-wall of this gorgeous, renovated home, full frontal sunshine, park, and sky vistas envelop you - offering a marvelous backdrop to daily life in the big open-plan living/dining room. The living/dining room is bright, stylish, and comfortable - ideal for easy living and exciting entertaining. Graced by the year-round theatricality of changing seasons, this special, sky-view and tree-view home is perfectly perched to benefit from all of it. Served beautifully by a redone, open cook's kitchen, this lofty space is both attractive and practical. With stone-capped dining bar, good counter/cabinet space, stainless appliances (by Miele, Bosch and Samsung), a Zephyr hood, double-tiered cutlery drawers (w/soft close), bonus pantry (with sliding shelves), water purification system -- and even a garbage disposal -- the eat-in kitchen gorgeously serves the big living dining room. The masterful king-sized bedroom suite is thoughtfully set apart from the living space via a graceful residential hall. On the other end of this feel-good home, the bedroom is a testament to this thoughtful home's mindful, practical, and expansive layout. The king-sized primary suite boasts sunset Western light overlooking the beauty of neighboring gardens. Offering ample room for seating and work areas, a smartly outfitted, designer walk-in closet -- and benefitted by a big, upgraded marble bath -- this sizable suite is a masterful retreat. This renovated home is resplendent and lovable throughout. Underfoot are new wide-plank Oak floors, above ceilings soar to 9-feet, and everywhere you look there is quiet, bright, leafy beauty. Both treasured outlooks boast city-quiet windows on their over-scaled picture windows, ensuring all day and all night, peaceful tranquility. With loads of enviable designer closet space, and with big walls ideal for big art, this winsome condo residence is a residential stand out. Sweetly positioned in the prized Park Belvedere Condominium, this memorable, move-in ready residence enjoys an attentive, seasoned staff in a world class location. Well served by a full-time doorman, concierge, and live-in Superintendent, life here is exciting and fun: The building boasts a redone lobby, fresh new halls, a roof deck (with jaw dropping views), laundry rooms, and an enviable location that comes with bragging rights. Close by is most every cultural, dining, shopping, entertainment, and fitness destination. Museum Park, the American Museum of Natural History, and Central Park are -- quite literally-your front yard. A plethora of easy transportation options abound. Easy-living in your own easy-to-love condo dream home -- with postcard perfect views on both sides -- awaits. NOTE: No pets permitted -- sorry!
