From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

A distinctive combination of pre-war charm and modern sophistication, apartment 8G offers the grandeur of a loft with soaring 13 foot ceilings and the functionality of a thoughtfully fully-renovated two-bedroom, two- bath residence. The beautifully designed living space is flooded with natural light from a north-facing wall of double height windows, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere throughout the day and wonderful open city views. The original beamed ceilings, rich walnut-colored hardwood floors and wood-burning fireplace create a refined blend of historic character and contemporary luxury. The gracious foyer is spacious enough to accommodate a six-person dining table, creating an elegant and versatile setting for entertaining. The windowed kitchen features a pocket door, allowing it to open seamlessly to the expansive entry foyer or close off for privacy. Both well-appointed king sized bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms and large custom-outfitted walk-in closets, providing exceptional comfort, privacy, and storage. Additional details include triple exposures, 4 total closets, and through the wall A/C. Southgate is a pre-war Emory Roth building built by Bing and Bing development.
