Lovely large and sunny one bedroom apartment with western exposure and greenery. Located in a prewar setback building. The renown architect, Horace Ginsbern, who is credited for the first Art Deco building in the Bronx and terraced setback buildings designed this building. This apartment has western exposure and privacy. The apartment has the original prewar details, arches, high ceilings, entry foyer, windows in each room, set back shelf and large floor to ceiling closets. The beautiful newly refinished basket weave wooden floors are throughout the apartment. The entire apartment was also freshly repainted. There are three beautiful arches which includes the Grand archway to the living room, small arch that separates the hall from the dining area and the arch that leads to the private area. A double closet is in the entry foyer. The windowed kitchen was renovated and has ample granite counter tops, wooden cabinets and storage. The gracious dining area is adjacent to the kitchen. One of the arches leads to the hallway that separates the common area. The windowed bathroom has the original period tiles and prewar design. The oversized bedroom has three (3) windows, double closet and lovely greenery.
Seasonal roses are on the trellis's in the front of this handsome prewar elevator building. The entry path has Italian hand laid bricks with a center garden with seasonal flora, plants and trees.
