UNDERSTATED ELEGANCE ON THE UPPER WEST Home should be a warm, serene space that provides a sanctuary from your daily stresses. A safe place where you can exhale. This beauty fits the bill. Nestled quietly away from the city noise, this prewar gem is adorned with classic details throughout such as high beamed ceilings, decorative picture moldings and restored basket-weave floors. The layout offers flexibility and separation of space for every lifestyle. The intimate dining room is perfect for spirited dinner parties while the living room generously accommodates a comfortable seating area and workspace flanked by a corner wall of built-in book cases providing a home for all your collectibles. The galley kitchen offers exceptional space that is large enough for 2 chefs to work in harmony. A rarity in NY! Both bedrooms feel removed from the entertaining space for maximum privacy; each large enough to serve as the Primary. Separating the bedrooms is a bathroom with vintage tile and soaking tub and newer vanity and medicine cabinet. Rounding out the picture are 5 generous closets, double exposure inviting cross breeze and light from the North and East and 9.5 ft ceilings. Ideally situated in The Clayton, a full-service doorman building designed by famed architect Rosario Candela. Residents enjoy amenities such as a playroom, central laundry, bike storage, private storage (wait list) and a live-in superintendent. The building welcomes pets. You will love living 2 short blocks from the 1/2/3 trains and other bus and subway lines nearby as well. If nature is your draw, Riverside Park and Central Park are moments away as well as endless shopping and dining options. Live your best life.
