Perched on a rare high floor in the heart of the Upper West Side, 16E offers what other 2 bedroom / 1 bath apartments do not magnificent natural light and privacy.This north-facing 2 bedroom home (Junior 4 layout) was renovated with comfort and luxury in mind, including high-end details such as 5''-wide solid oak plank flooring, matching solid oak doors throughout, and smart built-ins that provide ample storage. The oversized living room boasts a large picture window with side Hudson River views accompanied by a dedicated dining area.The kitchen includes a Subzero refrigerator and stainless steel dishwasher, range, and microwave.Granite countertops adorn walnut cabinetry with thoughtful accents of under-cabinet lighting and shelving for additional storage. The primary bedroom is protected by quiet city windows and graciously proportioned with plenty of space for an office area and a custom double-sized closet (as well as a neighboring walk-in hallway closet).The 2nd bedroom is currently set up as a nursery, but can easily be opened up to create an entertainer's dream open floor plan with a separate dining room flowing directly to both the kitchen and living room.This flexibility makes this layout highly sought after and extremely difficult to find in this prime neighborhood. The Gloucester features a 24 hr doorman, live-in Superintendent, common roof deck, renovated lobby and elevators, laundry room, and attached 24 hr garage (separately operated).
