They don't build apartments like these anymore!  This nicely updated, pre-war alcove studio has everything you could want.  First open the door and step inside to a roomy foyer with a deep coat closet.  The foyer is large enough for a desk and chair or perfect for a bench with baskets.  Take your time, drop the keys, check in the mirror, store your boots and umbrella-then walk into the rest of your home.  Beamed ceilings, original trim, hardwood floors. The main living space is very spacious and flexible and easily accommodates a large sectional sofa, coffee table and two stuffed chairs.  And you still have room for table for two with another area appointed for working from home.  In the bath you'll find the original cast iron tub that has been re-glazed, new toilet and sink.  Next to the bath is a very large, cedar clad, walk-in closet with plenty of shelving.  

Separate sleeping alcove fits a queen-sized bed and side table or convert it to an elegant dining area.  Kitchen has been updated with LG appliances including a microwave and dishwasher.  Facing south and just even with the buildings across the way, this apartment is showered with sunlight all day long.  Ideally situated on the Upper West Side, just two blocks from Central Park and the C/B train or Riverside Park and the Nos. 1,2,3 lines at Broadway.  The crosstown M96 and M106 buses stop steps from the building's canopied front door.  Full-service with live-in super, full-time doorman, laundry, bike room and landscaped garden.  Additional storage also available by wait list. Blocks from Whole Foods and Trader Joes.  Pet friendly.  No pied-a-terre.
