The Dorset at 150 West 79th St. #1C

Grab this GEM of a pre-war studio!  With a recently reduced price, it is an opportunity to purchase a “quality” first home in the HEART OF THE UWS. With a wall of custom maple built-ins and 3 CLOSETS, this apartment has an abundance of storage space.  A separate, windowed kitchen, and a windowed bath with large dressing area, add to the livability of the space.  The apartment features 10-foot ceilings, original mouldings, and hardwood floors.  Quietly situated toward the back of the building, it is just steps to the tranquil, shaded BACKYARD GARDEN.  If sun and views are the preference, take the elevator to the ROOF DECK, where the magic awaits!  Beautifully landscaped and tastefully furnished, this urban oasis can be enjoyed from dawn till dusk.  The building, known as THE DORSET, is 100 years old and is located just half a block from the historic American Museum of Natural History. There is a part-time doorman, seven days a week, from 12 noon to 12 midnight. Amenities include:  storage lockers (by waiting list), bike storage (no charge), and laundry facilities.  A washer/dryer would be permitted in the apartment, if desired!  1 block from the subway and the crosstown bus.  In addition to Zabar’s, Fairway and Citarella, the new Trader Joes(!), there are many restaurants and shops which add to the convenience and appeal of the neighborhood.  Low maintenance is just $640 per month!  An additional assessment of $106.53 will go into effect this fall, for 12 months, to finance cost of new energy-efficient boiler.  Live/work is permitted.  Could also be used as a private retreat for a writer or separate office (no client traffic). Pets OK! Subletting permitted for a maximum of two years.
