This may not be for everyone. It certainly can be your full time home, but more likely you're looking for that immaculate hassle-free pied-a-terre where you need to bring absolutely nothing, except your toothbrush. And you don't even have to bring that -- we'll get you a toothbrush, too.

On the penultimate floor of this high rise luxury full service building, facing south with brilliant sun streaming in all day, this spacious alcove studio has been transformed into the most tasteful, high end move-in ready home away from home imaginable. Nothing has been overlooked, held back or left out

Begin in the kitchen with the sleek but understated, self-closing Leicht cabinetry, complete with one-touch vertical opening, fully organized interiors and complemented by understated, Corian counters. A Sub Zero refrigerator of course, Fisher & Paykel appliances, and under cabinet lighting facilitate easy access, preparation, and cleanup if cooking is your thing.

New 7" wide plank floors subtly introduce you to a huge walk-in closet with birch shelving and details, and then the dining and living areas as you head toward the wall of new windows beyond. Then turn to the alcove with its most unique and sensible custom Murphy bed that transforms from a desk by day to an easily opened but substantial Queen bed by night, with lighting and tons of storage. Pass another closet and a dressing area (with a custom vanity/makeup table), and enter the upscale bathroom with its stall shower, mother of pearl and quartz vanity, medicine chest with dual outlets and USB ports, and, yes, a Toto Washlet toilet/bidet (also remotely operated : ). The doors and the brushed nickel hardware throughout are new, and the remote shades and lighting deliver the appropriate mood at a touch.

With all of this comes the complete decorator inspired furnishings, including an expandable dining table, modern wood credenza. lovely L shaped sleep sofa that doesn't look like a sleep sofa and all of the chairs, lamps (with remotes) and even the TV, tasteful art, cutlery, dishes, linens and accent items. In short, everything you might need -- except that toothbrush that we will throw in.

All of this is in a white glove, modern luxury building with a gym, playroom, parking and access to all of the many Lincoln Towers amenities, including a gated private park with its basketball and pickleball courts, a wonderful children's playground, and acres of greenery, picnic tables and walking and biking paths. Located in the dynamic lower Upper West Side, mere steps from Lincoln Center and a short stroll to Central and Riverside Parks, it is in the midst of a plethora of shopping, dining, entertainment and cultural options. And maintenance includes gas and electricity.
