Perfect!</br></br> With its generous proportions and bright exposures, this feel-good find is graced with high ceilings, expansive rooms, early 20th Century history, 21st Century updates, and handsome hardwood floors throughout. The wonderful result is a timeless, easy-to-live-in, easy-to-love, sizable two-bedroom home with two baths, and a trophy living/dining/kitchen space that knocks it out of the park. </br></br> The signature of this winsome home is its lofty, corner great room that is the impressive heart of this resplendent residence. Here is a large, rare, open-plan living/dining/kitchen area naturally lit by 5 big, bright windows along two exposures. With a big corner kitchen offering custom cabinetry, stone-capped counters, and a dining bar, this cook's dream space beautifully serves the jumbo living/dining areas -- creating a layout ideal for a special stretch-out life. </br></br> A sweet, welcoming foyer graciously separates the luminous and lovely living areas from the peaceful bedroom suites. Down the graceful residential hallway -- with custom closets -- are the two bright and tranquil bedrooms. The primary suite has room for a sitting area, a custom walk-in closet, and an en suite, designer marble bath. The guest bedroom is big and bright, has a custom closet, and is served by its own full, designer, marble bath. </br></br> The Schuyler Arms was built in 1902, and is a Beaux Arts beauty. With a lovely courtyard, a wonderful lobby, and a unique, glass-backed elevator. This full-service building is pet-friendly (with board approval), and offers a full-time doorman, porters, a live-in resident manager, bike, storage, and package rooms, and two central laundry rooms. Public parking is available in nearby garages, and the maintenance includes cable and internet.</br></br> From this amazingly prime location, Schuyler Arms residents enjoy prime access to Riverside Park, a world-class, verdant sanctuary from the din of the city with playgrounds, dog-runs, bike paths, tennis courts, the boat basin, and playing fields. The 24-hour Westside Market is located just around the corner, and there is a Whole Foods close by on 97th Street -- plus a Trader Joe’s on 93rd Street. The area is filled with great dining and shopping, easy fitness and entertainment options. The 1/2/3 trains and crosstown bus are merely two blocks away.</br></br> Life here is easy, convenient, and fun — and this well-scaled beauty is a wonderful base for all of it. If you are looking for a special space with forever charm and a designer sensibility -- with a park-side perch and an historical address -- then look no further.</br></br> FLIP TAX: 2% of Purchase Price Paid by Purchaser
