The Gramont, at 215 West 98th Street, was designed in 1910 by George and Edward Blum and converted to a cooperative in 1987.  The building greets you from first glance with its stunning arched stain glass and decorative wrought iron entrance pavilion.  The marble lobby delights with a decorative coffered ceiling, dramatic archways, and grand staircase.    Apartment 12C at the Gramont is a unique three-bedroom duplex.  On the top floor, there is an entrance foyer and gallery, a loft-like living/dining room, a stunning chef's kitchen, and two south-facing bedrooms off the living room that share a hall full bath and a second full bath and washer/dryer off of the kitchen.  The enormous kitchen has gleaming hardwood floors, a double oven with griddle and 6-burner Viking professional range, Liebherr double-door refrigerator, handsome oak cabinets and a windowed eat-in breakfast area.  There is a spiral staircase that leads to the master suite on the lower level.  The master bedroom boasts a wood-coffered ceiling, triple panel window, large walk-in closet, and an adjacent sitting room and third full bath.  The large entrance gallery, a Gramont signature feature, is currently set up as a home office with built-in bookshelves and desk and is open to the living/dining room through double-archways adding to the overall expansive living area.  The Gramont is a 12 story full-service cooperative that allows for 80% financing.  It has private storage,  a package room, laundry room, and welcomes pets.  It is conveniently located near local and express transportation with easy access to the East Side.  Nestled between Central Park and Riverside Park, Whole Foods, myriad boutiques, cafes and many of the Upper West Side favorite restaurants are all within walking distance.
