Gracious Three Bedroom with River Views

Enter this magnificent six-room home through a gracious foyer and into a 27ft. long living room with unrivaled views of the East River, Roosevelt Island and beyond. A wood burning fireplace is highlighted here with wonderful ceiling heights and pre-war details. Just off of the living room is a Juliet balcony, a perfect spot to sit and take in the views.

Adjacent to the living room is the master bedroom with equally impressive proportions and views. A separate sitting area, situated in the middle of a beautiful bay window, is the ideal location to relax and read a book or just daydream. The en-suite bathroom has a separate, double sink washroom and features a walk-in shower clad in limestone.

As you continue down the hallway you will find a cozy library or second bedroom with bath en-suite. There are two large full pane windows, which allow wonderful light and a glimpse of the river.

The west end of the apartment features a windowed open kitchen that is tastefully appointed with top-of-the-line finishes, plenty of storage and abundant counter space. An adjoining dining room is the perfect place for formal entertaining or casual everyday use. A third bedroom is located just next to the kitchen and has its own bath situated just outside the room.

A separate laundry room, a powder room and original hardwood floors throughout complete this unique home.
