Description


Hello brownstone lovers! Prime North Slope historic floor through apartment in a perfect location. This one is for the dreamers, the ones that long for the romance of original architectural details with some subtle modern touches. The building is tenderly cared for and owner occupied, something you feel as you walk up the stairs to the beautiful walnut doors.

This 3rd floor unit is considered the sweet spot by many, especially those that appreciate being embraced by a leafy canopy from treelined 6th Avenue. As you enter the great room you are greeted by a stunning decorative fire place with cobalt blue tiles and a detailed cast iron inset. There is a coat closet to hang your things upon entering, a rarity in many historic homes.

Inlaid original hardwood and parquet floors in 2 tones gives a richness and warmth throughout the home; the darker tone is echoed in the central kitchen's wooden counters. The stainless-steel kitchen appliances include a dishwasher. The living and dining area is bathed in south/east light, and a tall foliage in the rear of the garden below offers year privacy whilst letting the sun shine in. French doors between your living space and sleeping quarters carries light from each direction as the day progresses, a wonderful treat throughout the year.

The large front facing bedroom has a larger closet, along with a second decorative fireplace. There is certainly space for adding and armoire and dresser should you want to. Classic details throughout the home include judges paneling frames, picture rails, crown molding, plaster ceiling medallions, and light fixtures that evoke1800s elegance. The decorative arch above the alcove is a smart choice for your bed placement or a reading or office nook. The windows have working interior wooden louvered shutters, wonderful for privacy as well as for a way to manage your summer cooling needs.

The bathroom offers a large window and a wonderful original cast iron tub. The charming floral motif of the vintage tiles make for a truly lovely retreat from the hue and cry of the world outside. The gentle blue tones add to the sense of serenity.
