The Manchester at 255 West 108th St. #12D

A 10-room top-floor corner combination has been spectacularly renovated to what senior professionals are saying it is just about the finest home they have ever seen in the area. The combination of scale, light & views, quality of design and renovation offers an extraordinary home. The main highlight – of many highlights – is perhaps the 42 × 24 great room serving living, dining and media functions, and also offering a large nook for his/her offices. Near 10ft ceilings, 15 large windows and open south, east, and north exposures (one can see to Central Park and beyond to the Triborough and Whitestone bridges) offer wonderful light all day and views of both the sunrise and sunset. Two-zone central air conditioning provides comfort without interrupting aesthetic. Two decorative fireplaces with original mantels accent the architecture. The home features a new subfloor and light oak floor throughout – herringbone and parquet patterns which are stunning. Top of the line hardware, fixtures and appliances are everywhere. The bright corner 17 × 11 kitchen, with open east and north exposures, was custom designed by Aster Cucina featuring wood veneer and glass cabinets with ingenious storage, Caesarstone countertops, Subzero, Wolf and Miele. The 3.5 baths are in themselves works of art – classic designs updated by cutting edge material and fixtures by Artistic Design, Wet, Dombracht, and others. Storage space is tremendous from multiple customized closets, and the apartment is wired throughout for cable and direct internet connection. A full size washer/dryer is also installed.
