SUN-FILLED, STUNNING & QUIET, DESIGNER DANDY w/HIGH CEILINGS, GORGEOUS FINISHES & PRIZED LAYOUT
Here’s the Upper West Side, park-side treasure that checks all the boxes: a comfortable, sensible Pre-War plan with prized period scale and charisma combined with a smart renovation, attractive style and lovely practicality. Perfect!
With its generous proportions and bright exposures, this feel-good find is graced with high ceilings, expansive rooms, early 20th Century history, 21st Century updates, and handsome hardwood floors throughout. The wonderful result is a timeless, easy-to-live-in, easy-to-love, sizable two-bedroom home with two baths, and a trophy living/dining/kitchen space that knocks it out of the park.
The signature of this winsome home is its lofty, corner great room that is the impressive heart of this resplendent residence. Here is a large, rare, open-plan living/dining/kitchen area naturally lit by 5 big, bright windows along two exposures. With a big corner kitchen offering custom cabinetry, stone-capped counters, and a dining bar, this cook's dream space beautifully serves the jumbo living/dining areas -- creating a layout ideal for a special stretch-out life.
A sweet, welcoming foyer graciously separates the luminous and lovely living areas from the peaceful bedroom suites. Down the graceful residential hallway -- with custom closets -- are the two bright and tranquil bedrooms. The primary suite has room for a sitting area, a custom walk-in closet, and an en suite, designer marble bath. The guest bedroom is big and bright, has a custom closet, and is served by its own full, designer, marble bath.
The Schuyler Arms was built in 1902, and is a Beaux Arts beauty. With a lovely courtyard, a wonderful lobby, and a unique, glass-backed elevator. This full-service building is pet-friendly (with board approval), and offers a full-time doorman, porters, a live-in resident manager, bike, storage, and package rooms, and two central laundry rooms. Public parking is available in nearby garages, and the maintenance includes cable and internet.
From this amazingly prime location, Schuyler Arms residents enjoy prime access to Riverside Park, a world-class, verdant sanctuary from the din of the city with playgrounds, dog-runs, bike paths, tennis courts, the boat basin, and playing fields. The 24-hour Westside Market is located just around the corner, and there is a Whole Foods close by on 97th Street -- plus a Trader Joe’s on 93rd Street. The area is filled with great dining and shopping, easy fitness and entertainment options. The 1/2/3 trains and crosstown bus are merely two blocks away.
Life here is easy, convenient, and fun — and this well-scaled beauty is a wonderful base for all of it. If you are looking
