125 West 96th St. #4C

Make this stunning, huge alcove studio your new home! Beautifully styled and restored by the current owner/designer with a keen interest in preserving the elegant Art Deco period details, this spacious studio (550 square feet) easily converts to a one bedroom. Graceful proportions and wonderful attributes include high ceilings, inlaid oak floors, arched doorways, large sunken living room, dining gallery (can also accomodate a sleeping area or home office), sunny southern exposure, and 3 large closets. Keep the mural depicting romantic Paris forever or paint your own! The windowed kitchen and bathroom have been updated with modern fixtures, yet still maintain their classic Art Deco integrity. Add to the checklist the low maintenance of only $612 per month, and this is no doubt the best alcove studio buy on the market today! The well-maintained coop building has video intercom security, a resident superintendent, laundry facilities and bike storage (for rent, when available). The Upper West Side location is ideal — situated between Central park and Riverside park, close to the new 96th Street Express subway station, and steps from Columbus Square, featuring Whole Foods Market, HomeGoods, TJ Maxx, Sephora and more. 80% financing is permitted. Sorry, no pied-a-terres, no guarantors, no subletting and no dogs please (1 cat permitted).
