ROMANCE IN THE TREETOPS: A Terrace Garden, A Working Fireplace, A Rambling Renovated Residence in Ultra-Prime Location w/Central AC & Laundry

Rare is the home that speaks to the soul -- enlivening -- enriching -- elevating the everyday. Special is the residence whose functionality blends supremely with its form -- creating a soothing balance and a vibe that gives an energetic peace. Nestled in the treetops, and surrounded by its own big terrace garden, this is that place. With high ceilings above, gorgeous hardwood floors underfoot, and anchored by its wood-burning fireplace and fully renovated interior, life here is beautiful. Expansive and attractive, the rooms unfold smartly -- and lovely easy-living is the theme.

The entry hall brings you to a flexible bonus den -- an extra study, media, or guest space that offers one of two entries onto the terraced garden. The hall continues and unfolds into the dramatic corner living/dining room -- a sizable entertaining space with new casement windows onto the trees, and its own door onto the terrace. Dine inside by the fireplace, or al fresco under the leafy trees. Served by a spacious, eat-in, upgraded, windowed, cook's kitchen (with top shelf appliances by Subzero, Viking, and Wolf -- with wine fridge), life here is scrumptious. The king sized bedroom is peacefully perched on the tree-line, enjoys more of those new casement windows, has room for a sitting area, and is served by an impressively outfitted, jumbo walk-in closet. A thoughtful dressing area serves as a pass through hall, and leads to the marvelous marble bath. With top shelf fixtures, the luxe windowed bath is tasteful and terrific. There is central AC, a private laundry room, an audio system, immense storage, and ample room for art, books, and collectibles. Move-in ready, this mindfully curated home is a residential standout.

Sweetly situated in a boutique pre-war building that was smartly re-invented and re-imagined for a new generation, this handsome home enjoys the benefits of its pet and pied-a-terre friendly building (with live-in Super), and a world-class location that comes with bragging rights. Nearby is every Westside trophy: Riverside and Central Parks, the Beacon Theatre, Equinox, Museum of Natural History, NY Historical Society, Fairway, Citerella, Zabars, JCC, Lincoln Center, and supreme access to every other local cultural, dining, shopping, entertainment, and educational destination. At your doorstep is a plethora of easy transportation options (1,2,3,B,C trains & many bus lines). Life here is super convenient and fun.

Romance in the treetops -- by the fire -- on the terrace -- awaits.
