Top-Floor Pre-War Elegance with Light, Scale, and Sophistication Perched on the top floor of a historic Beaux-Arts cooperative, this rare and voluminous two-bedroom, one-bath home offers a stunning blend of pre-war grandeur and contemporary refinement. Meticulously renovated and bathed in radiant northeastern light, the residence combines soaring 10-foot ceilings with an open, loft-like layout—creating a space that feels both expansive and inviting. Exquisite architectural details include intricate crown moldings, classic wall paneling, richly finished hardwood floors, and beautifully preserved solid wood doors. Every element speaks to timeless craftsmanship, while modern updates provide effortless functionality and style. The spacious living and dining area unfolds as a true great room—designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort—with a wall of closets and a distinct formal dining space that maintains the home’s gracious flow. The fully gut-renovated kitchen is both striking and functional, featuring dramatic dark stone countertops set against custom white cabinetry, high-end stainless steel appliances, and a picturesque window for natural light and ventilation. A breakfast bar with seating and a cozy counter nook provide the perfect perch for casual dining, morning coffee, or working from home. The two large bedrooms offer flexible layouts, each comfortably fitting a queen-sized bed. The primary suite stands out with a custom walk-in closet that doubles as a charming home office, reading nook, or dressing area—offering both practicality and personality. The spa-inspired bathroom, conveniently located between the bedrooms, features elegant, modern finishes: a deep soaking tub surrounded by crisp white tile, a rich espresso vanity, a farmhouse sink, and a triple-mirrored medicine cabinet that maximizes storage. Thoughtfully designed for tranquility, it’s a true retreat within the home. With nine generously sized windows, through-wall A/C units, and ceiling fans, the apartment stays light-filled and temperate year-round—all while exuding chic, classic New York style. There is a current monthly assessment of $508.
