Open house is by appointment. Light and airy! This convertible 2-bedroom home is bright and gets soft northern light all day long from the open sky views outside the windows. A gracious foyer greets you as you enter this special apartment and then spans out from there giving the feeling of openness. The Italian-style kitchen is the center of the home with a windowed pass-through to the large living room with its beautiful built-ins and Hudson River view. In addition, what was originally built as the dining room serves as an office, plus there is an office within that office (see floorplan); this room can easily be converted to the second bedroom. A good-sized primary bedroom with additional built-ins, a reading nook (the previous Murphy bed space) and 4 roomy closets allow you to display your book collection while keeping your other items tucked neatly away.
