Description

Ohhh Central Park! Here is your quintessential Upper West Side location, across from the American Museum of Natural History and seconds from Central Park. This impeccably renovated one-bedroom apartment is at the Galaxy, a gorgeous Beaux-Arts building at the corner of West 81st and Columbus Ave. Originally known as Hotel Colonial, the landmark tower was designed by Frederick Browne, and completed circa 1905. The Galaxy features one of the most spectacular roof decks to truly experience the ambiance of NYC. Inside you'll find a perfect combination of vintage charm and luxurious modernity, starting with extra closet space in the front hall and continuing with restored hardwoods, lovely crown molding, recessed overhead lighting, and huge windows. The living and dining area offers plenty of room to relax and entertain, and the remodeled galley kitchen has everything you need for meal prep with stone counters, contemporary white cabinetry, upscale stainless steel appliances, black tile backsplashes, and a convenient pass-through window for handing out food and drinks. Sleeping quarters are at the opposite end for extra privacy, offering plenty of space for your bedroom furniture, MASSIVE closet space, recessed lighting, and an overhead fan. A cozy corner with a double window and marble sill is an ideal place to sit and read. The updated bathroom with its striking black porcelain floor has a deep soaking tub and shower combo, a stone-topped sink, designer fixtures, wall-to-wall tile, and a window. This co-op is turnkey ready, with upgraded electrical, slide dimmers, and much more. The pet-friendly building with its intricate façade has a live-in super, part time doorman, elevators, bike storage, laundry facilities on every floor, and a wonderful roof deck. Theodore Roosevelt Park with its dog run is across the street, with Central Park and Diana Ross Playground at the end of the block. The city is at your doorstep, from Zabar's to the Milling Room, Tessa, the farmers market, Kauffman Theater, and an incredible array of boutique retailers.
