Rare to the market is a one bedroom with such elevated finishes. This thoughtfully appointed, approximiatley 780 SF home, is located on the 11th floor of this 1928 prewar co-operative. Architectural details include beamed ceilings, decorative moldings, custom millwork, and an arched doorway between the entry foyer and the living room.

An entrance foyer with coat closet opens to a generous living room with two east-facing windows – room enough for full living and dining areas. Any discerning chef will be thrilled with the oversized kitchen featuring top-of-the-line appliances including a Viking six-burner professional range with double oven, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine refrigerator. Custom cabinets run floor to ceiling, with glass fronts above and open shelving below, set against white subway tile and wood counters. There is a farmhouse sink and a built-in window seat with storage underneath.

The corner bedroom easily accommodates a king-sized bed with East and North faciong windows, two large closets, and custom built-ins. The windowed bathroom is finished in prewar style with Waterworks fixtures, classic subway tile, pedestal sink and a mosaic floor.

The building allows 75% financing with a 2% buyer paid flip tax. Various purchase scenarios (co-purchase, pied-a-terre, and guarantors) are considered at the discretion of the board. Pets are allowed within a 40-lb weight limit.
