This sunny and elegant home blends timeless pre-war Upper West Side charm with thoughtful modern updates, creating a warm and inviting residence. Every detail in the recent renovation has been thoughtfully appointed. From the moment you enter, the space feels both communal and refined, with an open layout designed to encourage gathering while maintaining a feeling of serenity. High-quality finishes, custom cabinetry, and carefully curated lighting complement the abundance of natural light. The spacious living room enjoys open southern exposures. The kitchen, designed for both cooking and entertaining, features generous workspaces and even a built-in compost container. With the sink positioned below the window, you have open north-facing views while washing and preparing. The kitchen opens to a dining area with sleek built-in cabinetry and a custom built walnut dining table. Banquette seating includes additional storage. Two additional leaves extend the table for larger gatherings. The primary bedroom is a restful retreat with a spacious walk-in closet and open city views to the south. The secondary bedroom, which is large enough to serve as a primary bedroom, has been thoughtfully re-imagined with a cozy sleeping alcove, custom cabinetry and a chic en-suite powder room. Both bathrooms have windows. The full bathroom has been updated with heated floors and modern tilework. Just one flight up, a communal landscaped roof deck with sweeping city views becomes an extension of your home. Enjoy morning coffee with the flowers or prepare dinner on the electric grill.
