Building:

This is one of those gorgeous prewar brownstones off of Central Park.  It used to be a single family home (mansion by my standards) that was converted to apartments many moons ago.  It still has the original interior stairs and plenty of original details (carved wood etc).  I always enjoy entering buildings like this for the first time, as it's such a pleasant surprise to see all of the detail and thought that went into its construction.  They just don't make them like this anymore.

Kitchen: Windowed with a ceramic tile floor.  Gas stove.  Two nice big countertops make it ideal for two to make dinner together.  There is even an original sliding pocket door that separates the kitchen from the living area.

Living / sleeping: Open and airy with a warm and buttery parquet wood floor.  While I didn't measure, I'd say the ceilings are probably 11 feet high.  And there's a beautiful decorative fireplace that's just longing to be dressed up.  The closet closes with an original sliding pocket door, so no valuable real estate is lost because of a swinging door.

This is an ideal apartment for a young single professional looking for the following:

Character, cleanliness, quiet, and one of the BEST locations in the city.

And since you made it this far - you won't believe who used to live in the building!
