This is not your normal studio apartment, it is a loft and we hope you will have an opportunity to discover the beauty of this rare living space on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Nestled in the heart of Lincoln Square, this home is just steps from Central Park, and it boasts 12-foot ceilings, a fantastic solarium, and stunning original red brick walls, exuding vintage elegance. Once the grand entrance, parlor and ballroom of a historic townhome, this renovated 1300+ square feet of space offers a glimpse into the area's rich history. The apartment is surrounded by a peaceful and gated garden. There are two buildings with only 19 apartments within this private picturesque residential setting. This soon to be available unit is nothing short of magnificent. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed with its hardwood floors, tall white framed windows, a ceiling fan, split air conditioning, and a slate surrounded decorative fireplace. The bay window surrounds the solarium and opens to the private residents' garden, offering a picturesque view of the changing seasons through windows facing North and East. The main room features two large closets (not shown in the floor plan), and the spacious kitchen is perfect for cooking and dining with friends and loved ones, with an 18-foot long granite counter. There is plenty of cabinetry, and there will be new stainless steel appliances. The solarium, often used as a guest accommodation, adds to the versatility of this exceptional space. A loft area above the kitchen provides additional storage or a guest accommodation option. The apartment is in the process of being completely refurbished. This property is shown by appointment only.
