Hidden Gem

Enter this spacious two bed home and you are greeted with Philip Jeffriea wallpaper in the entry foyer with large hallway closet. A large living room with beamed ceilings and dining area make you feel at home immediately and conveniently located right off the kitchen with bespoke cabinets in ebonized oak and lacquer.

While the kitchen features Panda marble countertops, a Blanco Farm Sink and all Bosch appliances and vented hood. The bathroom features a stall shower with beautiful mosaic tiles and fog free mirror, and don’t forget the vented washer and dryer. The prime bedroom is situated in the back for complete quiet and has plenty of closet space. The second bedroom can also be used as an office or guest room.

Built in 1929 by George Fred Pelham Inc. originally had 61 units but now has fewer because it has been popular for combinations. Amenities include a 24-hour doorman, a live-in resident manager superintendent, an additional laundry in the basement, storage and a bike room as well as a beautiful roof garden. The building is pet-friendly and allows pied-a-terre’s on a case-by-case basis. A 2% flip tax is paid by the purchaser and 75% financing is permitted. (maint includes assessment of $113.55). Wonderful restaurants, shopping of all kinds are within blocks. Some of my favorites are the nearby Columbus Square Shopping Center with Whole Foods, Bareburger, Target, Birch Coffee, Home Goods, Buceo 95, Pio Pio and of course, Trader Joe’s.
