The Perfect Classic 5: Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Convenience

Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street, this Classic 5 home offers the perfect blend of pre-war charm and contemporary style. Bright, spacious, and impeccably maintained, this UWS beauty offers generous proportions and natural light throughout. Currently configured as a spacious 2 bedroom, 1 bath home with a formal dining room, it offers the flexibility to be converted into a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom layout (see alternate floor plan).

Entering through a gracious foyer with a large double-door closet, you are welcomed into a sunlit living room featuring custom built-ins and oversized west-facing windows. These windows overlook the treetops along Broadway, filling the room with natural light throughout the day. The living room is an inviting space, ideal for hosting gatherings or simply enjoying quiet moments at home. Across the hall, the formal dining room offers a versatile space with built-in desks seamlessly integrated into custom bookshelves. Perfect for entertaining or working from home, this room can also be transformed into a third bedroom to suit your needs.

The windowed eat-in kitchen is a chef's delight, complete with white custom cabinetry, sleek hardware, marble countertops, and a subway tile backsplash. Equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher and an LG washer/dryer combo, the kitchen also features built-in wine storage, blending style and functionality.

The generously sized primary bedroom enjoys abundant natural light and includes two large closets: both with built-in shelving for effortless organization. The second bedroom is just as inviting, with two oversized windows that enhance its charm. The windowed bathroom offers a luxurious touch with a marble sink top and marble tile flooring, creating a serene retreat.

Throughout the home, pre-war details shine, including high-beamed ceilings, restored original moldings, and beautifully maintained hardwood floors. Ample storage adds to the convenience of this thoughtfully designed space.
