The Park Belvedere at 101 West 79th St. 9C

This wonderful two bedroom, two bath home has been lovingly renovated to showcase both the open, lively feel of the sun-filled space and the warmth and serenity of its finishes. All of the major rooms face South onto 79th Street, providing all-day sunshine and wonderful angled views of the trees and turrets of the Natural History Museum, its neighbor across Columbus Ave. The living room is large and comfortable and features custom built-ins that provide stylish storage and a fitting setting for art and collectibles. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, with soft hues in the backsplash and granite counter, custom white cabinetry, and a Miele dishwasher, Liebherr refrigerator and Smeg gas range . A vented stacked washer and dryer are discreetly stored in a closet nearby. Plantation shutters in both bedrooms filter the sunshine, provide privacy, or open to bring in the museum views. There is a built-in dresser in the second bedroom, a clever addition to the storage area. The master bedroom suite is spacious and welcoming, featuring a well-organized walk-in closet and room for a sitting area or work space. Both baths feature soft palettes similar to those in the kitchen, with subtle splashes of color and beautiful fixtures. No detail has been overlooked in making this home both comfortable and elegant. The lighting throughout is tasteful and controlled by dimmers. Nine-foot ceilings, solid hardwood floors and custom covered through-wall air conditioners complete the essential elements of this move-in ready residence. The Park Belvedere offers 24 hour doorman and concierge service, laundry, bike and storage facilities and a roofdeck with spectacular views across Manhattan. The museum and Central Park are within a block to the East, transportation is within several blocks in either direction and the building could not be better located for Upper West Side shopping, dining and entertainment. Pets are welcome with board approval! NB: There is a Reserve Assessment of $598 through June 2019 and a Capital Assessment of $55, to run indefinitely.
