252 West 85th St 4D

Lease signed and board approved. This newly renovated 3 bedroom 1.5 bathroom apartment typifies the solid construction and grand classicism of the early turn of the century prewar era. Rarified elements such as beamed ceilings approaching almost 10 feet in height predominate throughout as do myriad windows that infuse the entire home with radiant light. Modern details have been thoughtfully integrated so that the residence retains a modern aesthetic as well. Immediately upon entering you are beckoned into a living and dining area that seamlessly master a flowing entertainment space, further enhanced by recently installed striking hardwood floors. Other nods to modernism are reflected in the windowed open chef's kitchen that features finely honed marble countertops, a hefty sized pantry, and top of the line stainless steel appliances, including a Wolf stove and Liebherr refrigerator. A total of three generously proportioned bedrooms with large picture windows ignite the verdant greenery just outside. Other prominent highlights are evidenced in the incredible amount of storage offered by customized closets and the abundant number of built-ins that have been ingeniously incorporated.

The building itself was designed by famed architects Schwartz and Gross and lovingly dates back to the year 1914. This intimate 10 story coop with 38 units has preserved its refinement with only 4 apartments per floor. Among the amenities are a live-in super, video intercom security, a central laundry room, an individual storage unit for each apartment, bike storage, and a playroom. Pets are also permitted.

252 West 85 Street is a block away from the #1 train, and both Central Park and Riverside Park are virtually in your backyard. The neighborhood too is also known for Zabar's, the AMC theatre, and the Children's Museum, as well as great shopping and dining.
