PRE-WAR, STUDIO JEWEL Take advantage of this opportunity to own a gorgeous, lovingly renovated studio located in the historic and mystique-infused Whitby where such notable 20th Century icons as Doris Day, George Burns and Al Capone spent their days and nights. This quiet, 8th floor home, part of the largest studio line in the building, has been thoughtfully updated so that original, 1920’s classic details remain while at the same time offering the comforts of contemporary living. You are welcomed into the expansive living room with its oak floors, crown moldings, beamed ceiling and front door and frames stripped down to their industrial steel. An oversized window filters beautiful Southern light. The unit’s layout is so ideal that a separate bedroom area can easily be created. The open, windowed kitchen has been remodeled and is equipped with custom cabinetry, granite countertop w/glass tile backsplash, a 5-burner electric cooktop and a combination microwave/convection oven. The ample bathroom is also windowed and has been modernized with a Kohler pedestal sink and a newly glazed, vintage bathtub. It also has an adjacent dressing area. A walk-in closet offers abundant storage. And finally, an extremely low monthly maintenance makes this a highly attractive investment for the discerning buyer. The Whitby, famously profiled in the New York Times, was designed by the esteemed architect Emery Roth (The San Remo, The Beresford) and completed in 1923. This 217-unit, noble structure, renowned for its impressive three sturdy bays and rippling brick cornice, is located on West 45th Street between 8th and 9th Aves in the heart of NYC’’s fabled theatre district. The Whitby is a full-service co-op and features one of the most spectacular roof decks in Midtown West with 360 degree, open city views. Amenities include a 24/7 doorman, new laundry room, storage, bike room, FIOS and a grand, newly renovated, Art Deco-inspired lobby. It is convenient to all major transportation and an abundance of restaurants, cafes and entertainment. The Whitby is pied-a-terre, co-purchasing and pet-friendly.
