Endless possibilities in the city’s quintessential neighborhood! This sprawling 11 room pre-war maisonette on Manhattan’s historic Upper West Side is one of the most unique live/work homes on the market today.  This elevated first floor apartment boasts a massive living room/dining room/entertainment space and four bedrooms (into three with the potential for five), three baths and 10 foot ceilings. A crowning feature is the two room office suite with private entrance from the vestibule, with an over-sized walk in-closet and/or storage room with existing water lines.

A beautifully ornate lobby leads to a large, gracious foyer of this rare unusually large family home.  From there, access the communal living space, gallery-like hallway to the kitchen area and tucked away generous bedrooms, or go straight to work through the foyer entrance to the office suite. Current configuration and flow awaits the personal touches of its new owners - space is optimal to create the perfect home.  Original details, among them: living and dining room herringbone floors and hard wood floors throughout, crown moldings, paneling, French doors and original wood doors compliment the architectural charm of the UWS.   Added features include stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, laundry/staff room with washer and dryer hook-up and bath, two butler’s pantries (one could easily be a breakfast nook), and 10 closets and two pantries.  Abundant windows capture sun from WEA and scenic views of 82nd Street brownstone gardens.
