TOWNHOUSE-LIKE PRE-WAR w/SURPRISE OPEN SOUTHERN VIEW TREE-TOP & CITY PEEKS IN TROPHY LOCATION w/3 BRIGHT EXPOSURES SOULFUL BEAUTY w/BIG KITCHEN, WASHER/DRYER, DINING AREA, HIGH CEILINGS & GOOD CLOSETS A stroll down a tree-lined street -- one of the Upper Westside's most convenient -- brings you to a lovely, unassuming, historical building. A gentle few flights up -- easy and elegant -- brings you to a lovely, unassuming, door at the top of the boutique pre-war building. That door is the portal to a very special place. Lovely and unassuming? Sure -- but also magical, comforting, dramatic, peaceful, sun-filled and beautiful. Here is a soul-stunner of pre-war bliss -- a higher-floor-home among the treetops -- a stretch-out space that shines brightly and lives sweetly. Here is a residence whose character and spirit feel good -- and stay in your heart forever. The open-plan living/dining rooms enjoy a surprise open park space beyond their overscaled South-facing windows. This brings in an abundance of sunshiney brightness, cheerfully expanding the space's high ceilings and grandly intimate scale. A well-scaled, windowed kitchen (with dishwasher and washer/dryer) serves this entertaining space beautifully. Big windows feature bright treetops, city views -- inviting you to look out, stretch out and get cozy. The bedrooms are graciously apart from one another, the primary suite enjoying full Southern light and a wall of custom closets, and the guest bedroom offering tranquility and privacy off of this home's gallery/hall. A sizeable, full, classic, windowed bath brings this handsome, high-floor home's exposure count to three. Cross-breezes and sunshine abound. Near the top, at a perfect penultimate level, this home enjoys a prime perch in its pet-friendly building, whose enviable location comes with bragging rights: Moments away are most every area cultural, shopping, dining, fitness, and entertainment destination -- not to mention equidistance from Central and Riverside Parks, and a plethora of easy transportation options. Life here is convenient, easy, and fun. Here's the special space that will make you feel alive -- joyful. You'll feel comforted -- inspired. You'll feel right at home. A sweet, townhouse-like life awaits. Flip Tax: 2% of Sales Price Paid by Buyer
