Pre-war charm abounds in this corner unit atop an historic Beaux-Arts mansion. A mere three flights up the townhouse staircase, Apartment 5B boasts 9'5 high ceilings, original built-ins and room aplenty for living, dining and a devoted office setup. The partially open kitchen features a clever pass-through and breakfast bar, while the brand new stainless fridge, tile backsplash and under-cabinet lighting add to the inviting allure. Two large closets as well as additional basement storage round out the package. 5B's high perch affords you a skylight in the bathroom, a lovely accoutrement to baths in your newly glazed cast iron tub. Gaze out your bay-style windows at the manicured gardens below or explore the verdant pathways of Riverside Park and Hudson River Greenway. This boutique cooperative is situated on a serene frontage of Riverside Drive in the Bloomingdale Historic District. With close proximity to the 2/3 express trains at 96th Street and 1 train at 103rd, Columbia University, as well as all the best dining and culture that the Upper West Side has to offer, you'll never want to leave the neighborhood. Central laundry and additional basement storage is available to the incoming shareholder. Co-purchasing and gifting is permitted. Pets and pied--terre purchases will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
