RARE AND UNIQUE HOME-PRE-WAR GEM WITH HUDSON RIVER VIEWS Perched high on the 11th floor of the 12-story Umbria Building, completed in 1911 and designed by world renowned architect, D. Everett Waid, apartment 11A is a sprawling, corner split 2 bedroom, 2 full bathroom home that awaits your arrival. This sun drenched, approximately 1,640 square foot apartment contains soaring 10 foot ceilings and hardwood floors throughout, numerous oversized windows, ample closet space, and many original prewar details. You enter your home and arrive to a regal and spacious foyer. Bathed in natural light facing north and east, the expansive living room is to your left for your family gatherings and for hosting social events. The windowed kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, a Bosch dishwasher, a Thermador oven, spacious counter tops, ample cabinets and storage spaces, and has a walk-in utility closet that contains a Bosch washer and dryer. The serene and spacious primary bedroom has sunny and stunning city views, an en suite windowed bathroom, and 3 large closets. The second bedroom is sizable and has breathtaking Hudson River views and is on the opposite end of the apartment away from the primary bedroom that provides for optimal privacy for its occupants. The historic and well-known Umbria Building contains only 43 apartments and is built in the Italian Renaissance style. The 11th floor contains only 4 apartments and the newly renovated common hallway area is pristine. You enter the building through the elegant lobby and you arrive at your home by riding the full service elevator that is operated by building personnel or you can take the other elevator on your own. The building is pet friendly and the amenities include: a 24 hour doorperson/elevator operator, a live-in super, a gym, a large laundry room, a bike storage room, and common storage areas. The building is a stone's throw from Riverside Park and is in close proximity to Central Park, Lincoln Center, and Columbus Circle, as well as famous restaurants, gourmet supermarkets such as Zabar's, Fairway, and Citarella, world-renowned museums, and shops. Public transportation is abundant as the 1 train is located just down the street at 79th Street, the 2/3 train is located at 86th Street, and the A/B/C trains are a short walk east on 81st Street. I look forward to meeting you and showing you this special home located along this premier stretch on West End Avenue's Gold Coast.
