Unique potential to create a gracious prewar home. Come see these two side-by-side apartments located in a premier full-service building that can be combined to create a sizable single unit. Based on a precedent in the building this fifth floor home may be configured to include at least three large bedrooms with separate library and dining room, plus three windowed baths (see proposed floor plan). Apartment #53 is a wonderfully renovated one bedroom plus den with one bathroom. Apartment #54 is a two bedroom, two bath unit in need of some updating, with wood burning fireplace. The prewar detail throughout both apartments includes beautiful herringbone hardwood floors, original moldings and 9'+ beamed ceilings. Lots of closets and a basement storage unit that is included in the sale. This elegant cooperative has a full-time doorman, live-in super, laundry on premises (washer/dryer allowed in units with board approval), bike room, and pets are welcome. Very well located near all transportation and conveniences. Maximum 70% financing (65% for interest only loans); pied-a-terres and co-purchases are permitted.
