UPGRADED CORNER PRE-WAR w/FLEX BONUS 3rd BEDROOM & BRAND NEW KITCHEN
LOFTY & BRIGHT LIVING/DINING/KITCHEN + SIZABLE BEDROOMS IN COVETED LINE
PRIZED DOORMAN BUILDING BY RIVERSIDE PARK
Originally a stretch-out two bedroom residence, this feel-good find has been re-envisioned as a fantastically functional three bedroom home. The resplendent result is an Upper West Side, park-side treasure that checks all the boxes: a comfortable, sensible Pre-War plan with period scale and charisma combined with attractive contemporary style and lovely practicality. Perfect!
With its comfortable proportions and surprisingly bright exposures, this home is graced with high ceilings, well-scaled rooms, early 20th Century history, 21st Century updates, a brand new kitchen, and handsome hardwood floors throughout. The wonderful result is an easy-to-love, corner home with two baths and an open-plan living/dining/kitchen space that allows for big-life easy living.
The signature of this winsome home is its lofty, corner living space -- the impressive heart of this residence. Here is an open-plan living/dining/kitchen area naturally lit by four big, bright windows along two exposures. With a fresh, newly installed kitchen offering custom cabinetry, stone-capped counters, and handsome appliances, this culinary space serves well the jumbo living/dining area -- creating a layout ideal for a fun stretch-out life.
The bonus, flex third bedroom is an ideal solution for all of life's growing needs. Here is a guest room, a media room, an office, a play space... A sweet, welcoming foyer graciously separates the lovely living area and bonus room from the peaceful bedroom suites. Down the graceful residential hallway -- with custom closets -- are the other two bright and tranquil bedrooms. The primary suite has room for a sitting area, a custom walk-in closet, and an en suite bath with separate shower. The main guest bedroom is big and bright, has a custom closet, and is served by its own full hall 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, flexible and fun -- and this winsome home is a wonderful base for all of it. If you are looking for a special space with room to stretch out -- with a park-side perch and an historical address -- then look no further.
