Built in the Art Deco-style of the 1930s, apartments at 7 West 96th Street embrace the era with arched doorways, high ceilings, graciously proportioned rooms, large windows, and formal layouts with foyers and hallways.  Apartment 9D has two-bedrooms and two-bathrooms.  The living and sleeping quarters are separate, and the bedrooms have en suite baths.  The kitchen has recent improvements and includes a vented washer and dryer.  Additional apartment features include deep closets, through wall air conditioners, and only four apartments on the floor.  Above all, the magnificently whimsical view features an 1903 Carrere & Hastings designed a church in the foreground and the park, Fifth Avenue, and the open sky in the background.  Originally the First Church of Christ, Scientist, the church is to become the new location of the Children's Museum of Manhattan.  Nearby amenities are Central Park, convenient shopping with a Whole Foods and Trader Joe's blocks away on Columbus Avenue, and many transportation options with the crosstown 96th Street buses and the B, C, 1, 2, 3 subway lines.  The building has a beautifully planted roof garden, full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, basement storage, a bike room, and is pet friendly.
